My Thunderbird icon keeps unpinning itself from my taskbar. Every time I pin the icon to the taskbar, it stays there for a day or two but then it's gone again. It's still installed. I don't know if its Thunderbird or if its Windows doing this but it's irritating.

Quite possible neither. I would suspect other third party software like ccleaner or an anti virus or some sort of optimizer.

Nah, I don't use anything like CCleaner or any other optimizers, and the only anti-virus I run is Windows Defender. I've never known an anti-virus software to remove shortcuts and leave the app intact, especially without even a notification.

I've noticed often when it disappears, after I've re-pinned it and run it, it will update before starting.

Still nothing, huh?

It's just done it again. Lasted almost three whole weeks this time, at least.
