Windows 10 Taskbar Behavior

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.)
