In Windows 7 and 8.1, we had the following solution: Start Emacs with
runemacs.exe, pin it, close it, bring up the Properties for the pinned
icon, and change the target from emacs.exe to runemacs.exe. That works
as one would hope: either starting an instance of Emacs or activating
any existing instance.
My habit for starting Emacs or activating an existing instance is to use
Windows-digit or (equivalently) clicking the pinned taskbar icon. With
Windows 10, it does not work. When I start Emacs with the taskbar icon,
it adds a new icon to the taskbar for the running instance. If I use
the pinned icon again, it starts yet another instance. Windows-digit
becomes useless because I don't know the digit corresponding to the
_running_ instance of Emacs.
Could someone please point me to a solution for Windows 10? (If there
is not one, I guess I will resort to AHC.)
