Question mark icon of running apps

from Stardock Forums

With Windows 10 there are two problems:

  1. Several applications display an icon with a question mark (Sticky Notes is one of them). How to fix that?

  2. Some applications start running in the background, also with that icon. These apps do not show anywhere
     else. How can I stop them from showing up on ObjectDock?

Open OD config and uncheck show running applications.

Uvah, wouldn't that mean that normal apps that I loaded would stop showing? If that's the case I lose the ability to switch from one app or app doc to another. The ideal would be only to display those started up in OD.

Any ideas of a fix for the unknown icon (question mark)?

Thanks Wizard1956. Would the Sticky Notes be a Metro App? I don't know if support reads this but the solution could be to use the icon I included in OD to launch Sticky Notes. Also, don't display on OD anything not loaded from it, as an option (for those not happy with that).

I originally had a different reply but wasn't sure if it was the correct one.
