Icon in Windows taskbar doesn't appear to show an existing window

This is on Windows. I have Alteryx pinned to the taskbar but whenever I click on the icon to open up a new window/workflow and Alt+tab to another window, the icon doesn't appear to reflect an open Alteryx window. So if I forgot that I already clicked it, I click it again, resulting in two windows. I can see the open Alteryx window via Alt+tab but this is pretty inconvenient.

 

Is this a bug at all? I've tried unpinning an repinning Alteryx but this issue still persists. I'm on the latest version 2021.2.2.45235.
