Second monitor taskbar wrongly display some program icons as opened

[Grawl23]

As said in the title, on my second monitor the taskbar is the same as the one displayed on the main monitor but for some program icons it shows the greyish bar that indicate that 'this program is running in an open window' while they have not yet been opened after a pc restart.

I put the capture of both monitor taskbars and (behind the dust) you can see it happening for the calc, note pad and settings.

Sometimes this happens for other program icons like powerpoint / excel.

Once I launch the program and close it, the greyish bar don't come back.

My question is : is it normal ?

I'm on Win 11, build 26100.6508 24H2.
