How to see Excel files as separately on taskbar?

[Annette]

When I open more than one Excel file, it used to display them as separate
icons on my task bar. But for some reason, now I only get one one icon, and
I have to go to Windows on the Menu Bar to switch between them. I can't use
Alt/Tab anymore. It only affects Excel.

Go to the Tools menu, choose Options, then the View tab. There,
check the "Windows in Taskbar" setting.

I have the same problem - I cannot see icons for workbooks in the Excel Taskbar. The "see windows in taskbar" option is checked. Please tell me how to fix this. Thank you
