    This is extremely annoying. I constantly switch between desktops by pressing Ctrl+Windows+ArrowKey, and it makes it so that if I set up an order on my taskbar icons and swap desktops, the order shuffles at random, and sometimes the taskbar icons become invisible. I really need a fix.

    After the desktop switch, the taskbar buttons are rearranged

    Hi

    I've one monitor and two desktops, that usually switch between them.

    But when I back to previous desktop, the taskbar buttons are rearranged and sorted differently from what I made.

    Is there any option to keep the previous order of buttons?

    EDIT:

    Actually I mean switching between desktops by (ctrl+win+→) or (ctrl+win+←)
