Can't Pin to Taskbar

[saroman0414]

In Windows 11, if I try to pin v.5.1.0.0 to the Taskbar, the pinned icon disappears when I exit the program. I can, however, pin it to the Start Menu.

I am running on Windows 11 23H2 and am able to pin PMPC-HU v5.1.0.0 to the taskbar without any problem.

The behavior you describe (icon disappears from taskbar after closing the app) is the expected behavior when an app is not pinned to the taskbar.

Are you sure you actually pinned PMPC-HU to the taskbar?

To verify ---
Launch PMPC-HU. The PMPC-HU icon should appear on the taskbar with a dot below the icon indicating it is open/running.
Right-click on the icon.
There should be an option "Unpin from taskbar" which verifies the app is already pinned.
However, if the option reads "Pin to taskbar", then select that option to actually pin the app to the taskbar.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I am having the same problem. When right-clicking the program icon, a shortcut, or the start menu entry the "Pin to Taskbar" option is missing from the context menu. You can right-click the taskbar icon when the program is running and select "Pin to Taskbar" there, but it does not actually pin. Right-clicking it again will still show the pin option, it never changes to "Unpin", and when you close the program it goes away (since it isn't pinned).

For now I've made a desktop shortcut, but I'd much rather have it on the taskbar for easy access. The old version could be pinned just fine before the "Home Updater" update.

I've running into the same issue since I upgraded to version 5. Usually unpin/re-pin works, but tonight it didn't. The icon changes to a blank white icon. When I open the icon properties where I could "change the icon" I got an error message indicating that the Windows cannot find the icon file.
