Fusion Taskbar Icon always disappears with new updates

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 10:14:51 GMT

I've dragged the desktop shortcut to the taskbar for quick opening. I noticed that whenever I update the icon goes blank.

I take it this is because the .exe is deep in an obscure folder in my users/... folder and I assume this folder changes each time it is updated?

You got it.

To be clear: there'a a new icon on your desktop after the update, right?

Thanks!

Okey dokey then

Yes I always get a new icon on the desktop. I just want it on the taskbar next to my many other Autodesk icons! Not a biggy but just one of those little things you notice using stuff every day.

This says Solved! Sorry, but "we're looking into it" is not a solve.

Here's a workaround.

Go to Start Menu

Find Autodesk Fusion 360 in the Autodesk Folder and right click it

Select more -> Open Location

Drag the Autodesk Fusion 360 Icon to your taskbar. Delete the old icon on the taskbar.

When Fusion 360 opens, it will open under a new start menu icon, but at least you can always start it from your taskbar.

I agree that it sucks that "we're working on it" is a valid reason to mark the problem resolved.
