<p>You&#8217;ve just installed your cool new Microsoft Edge Chromium-based browser and now you would like to pin it to the taskbar. You have right-clicked on the shortcut icon and clicked on <strong>Pin to taskbar</strong> command.</p>

<p>Once the new shortcut has been pinned to the taskbar you&#8217;ve clicked on it and have noticed that a new icon appeared in the taskbar.</p>

<p>Luckily, this is easily solvable. I am guessing that this is just one of those minor bugs that have managed to squeeze under Microsoft Devs radar :)</p>
<p>So, to fix this, close the Microsoft Edge browser. <strong>Right-click</strong> on the <strong>Microsoft Edge shortcut icon</strong> and click on the <strong>Unpin from taskbar</strong> command.</p>

<p>Now, run the Microsoft Edge browser again and once the shortcut appears in the taskbar <strong>right-click</strong> on it and select the <strong>Pin to taskbar command</strong>.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s it. This is how you solve a duplicate shortcut in the taskbar issue. Now all of your Microsoft Edge tabs will be clustered in one shortcut icon rather than 2 different icons on the taskbar.</p>
