Go to solution Solved by L.E.D,

So windows 7 recently started doing this to me, has anyone ever had this problem before?

HWMonitor started doing this months ago, but i didnt mind it. Now both steam, afterburner, HDD sentinel and (sometimes) NetLimiter are doing it.

 

IF these are pinned, un pin them. Re open the applications and pin them again, also make sure you didn't remove the source shortcut. Example being if you have a steam shortcut on your desktop and to get it in the task bar, you dragged it to the task bar. You can't remove that shortcut from the desktop.

None of these were pinned, but i just reinstalled them, that fixed steam but not HDD sentinel. So i dont know what the deal is with HDD sentinel :P

But this is good for now, thanks for helping!
