Windows 8.1 Taskbar Icon duplication after waking from sleep

Hey guys,

So I'm stumped here. One of my users is having an issue with his Windows 8.1 taskbar. Pretty much summed up by the picture in this link here: [Problem](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start/windows-icon-overlapping-on-taskbar/0e7f9b7c-1ef5-4c93-87c0-a0dc142163ed)

Except this is on Windows 8.1 on a Surface 3.

I haven't really found any solutions to the problem, but this is what I've tried:

* Update display driver * Downloaded and updated Firmware and Drivers for Surface 3 * Removed all pinned items to taskbar, restarted, re added.

So far these have only been temporary solutions (and most probably because they require explorer.exe to restart at some point).

This problem seems to only happen when the Surface is coming back up from sleep mode. Honestly, I'm inclined to just turn off sleep mode and set the tablet to simply lock after 10 minutes of not being used instead, but that's no fix. And something tells me the same problem might re-occur.

Any help would be appreciated.

THANKS!
