    I think you must have misunderstood me, what I meant was there are no Windows' Icons showing up in my dock whatsoever. How do I make it show on the dock?

    It was in "OS Icon" by default and still, open programs in windows 10 are not showing on the dock.

    Hi, please shut down your virtual machine(Do not close the window), and follow the steps mentioned below to fix the issue:
    1. Virtual machine's Configuration-> Options-> Applications
    2. Select " Share Windows applications with Mac
    3. Tick " Show Windows applications folder in Dock" and Show Dock icons in Coherence only" if it is needed.
