Fixed: The Sticky Notes icon in the taskbar is not combined

/

We still use Sticky Notes as a powerful reminder tool to plan our day and copy text from another app. By default, when we open multiple notes in Windows 10, they are automatically grouped in the same tab. However, after installing the latest 1903 updates, they are all separated in the taskbar. I set the taskbar to automatically hide them, but that doesn’t work either. What can we do to fix this problem?

It’s frustrating having to open each note to see them all. For example, if we have about 8 sticky notes, we have to type one at a time to see them all. This is redundant and takes up a lot more space on the taskbar. Maybe this is a new feature that allows users to move individual notes to different desktops. But the basic function is broken. You can try the solutions below to group Sticky Notes together. read more

Solution: Bluetooth is connected but cannot hear calls on your phone app

/

It is possible that the phone application cannot transmit calls to your Bluetooth headset unless it is set as the default audio device. Alternatively, this error may be caused by a damaged audio speaker. The problem occurs when a user tries to use a Bluetooth headset with the Your Phone app, but cannot answer a call or hear other people.

Before proceeding with solutions, note that Bluetooth headsets are not yet fully supported by the Your Phone app. Also, check to see if rebooting the devices solves the problem. Also, check that your phone/PC is not paired with another device and that no third-party apps have been used to connect devices via Bluetooth. Also, check that none of the devices are in power save mode. Also, make sure that the “Your Phone” app has access to notifications on the phone and is running in the background on the PC/phone. read more

Service Host Fix: Diagnostic policy service High CPU and memory usage

/

As you may know, there are a number of active background processes and services that help Windows run smoothly. Most of these background processes/services consume a minimal amount of CPU power and RAM. However, there are times when a process gets disrupted or corrupted and consumes much more resources than usual, leaving little room for other applications in the foreground. The Diagnostic Policy Service is one such process that has been known to overload system resources on rare occasions.

The Diagnostic Policy Service is one of the common Svchost.exe (Service Host) processes. It is responsible for detecting problems with various Windows components and solving them. The service tries to automatically resolve detected problems when possible and when not, it saves diagnostic information for analysis. read more
