Windows 11 taskbar uncombined
Strange behavior on Windows 11 taskbar when uncombined. As you can see in the attached video, the Adobe Acrobat icon is duplicated when shifting the windows to another monitor and stays like that until I close the app and open it again.
It becomes very annoying when opening many files such as 5 or more. The taskbar will be full of Acrobat.

So just to add my .02 cents, Adobe Reader displaying multiple instances of the open file in the taskbar happens on my Windows 11 machine (an Intel NUC 13) as well as my work PC (a Dell Latitude 5540, Win 11 as well). My work PC is pretty much locked down and I'm limited to making any changes to it.
Also, the scenario is more complex than just showing more than one instance of an open file... There's times when if a group of files are opened in separate tabs at the same time. and one of the files is closed, a remaining open file takes on the name of a file that was previously closed. I've double checked, and yes this does happen.
Attached is a file showing 2 pdf files open, with 2 references to one of the files in the task bar.

This is super annoying. It's like Adobe doesn't use their own products, because I discovered this bug immediately. It's been happening since Windows 11 brought back "Never combine taskbar icons". Adobe should have caught this during the beta releases of Windows 11 updates.
