Windows 11: Double taskbar profile icon when opening Chrome profile

I found a bug in Windows 11 when I opened a chrome profile, it shows up two profile icons instead of just one (see the screenshot). In Windows 10, it used to open with the bottom-right icon, but I think Windows 11 added a new place for the icon in the upper-right, but overlapping it with the old icon place instead of replacing it.

 

Device and OS Spesification:

  • Edition: Windows 11 Enterprise
  • Version: 21H1
  • Build: 22000.100

Is it just for me or everyone else have the same problem? If so, I hope this bug can be fixed in the next update. Thank you.

    I do have the same problem as you. I searched online to fix this bug I couldn't find a solution so I hope Google will fix this problem also. It doesn't look good. I just updated my Windows OS to 11.

        Hello,

        This worked for me. But I have two separate Chrome accounts for work and personal, and I realized when opening my personal account that my Google account icon/badge no longer shows. So my question is: if badges were turned off, what is the remaining icon on my Chrome taskbar and why is it still on, but my personal one isn't?

      This works, and you can tuck the shortcuts away in another folder so you don't have to see them,

      Thanks, works well enough for Google to never fix 😉

    Are you facing the same issue with the Microsoft Edge?
    Try update Google Chrome to the latest version.
