shellext: Committing flashes all taskbar icons on Windows 10
Created originally on Bitbucket by sekrause (Sebastian Krause)
Every time I commit something from TortoiseHg Workbench all icons in my Windows 10 taskbar flash for a short time:
I've been able to reliably reproduce this problem accross many different versions of TortoiseHg for at least a year and it has been a quite annoying issue. The problem gets worse with larger repositories, i.e. the icons take longer to come back.
I've tried reinstalling TortoiseHg multiple times, with fresh configurations, with or without the shell extenstions or the overlay server, the issue is always there. TortoiseHg seems to do something to Explorer.exe that makes it reload all icons.
