I created an ALTERNATE_EDITOR environment variable pointing to runemacs.exe, and I made the target for the taskbar icon be ...\emacsclientw.exe -n. That fails because emacsclient is not getting a file argument. So I added --eval (maximize-frame). With that, runemacs does get called and emacs starts; but, unfortunately, runemacs eats the "(maximize-frame)" string and creates a file by that name. Not sure why the --eval does not prevail. Ignoring the unfortunate file creation, this still creates a separate taskbar icon for the running instance of emacs. The only good news is that the pinned icon does activate the running instance, evaluating (maximize-frame). Obviously much improvement is needed. Does anyone have any specific ideas to achieve the much more desirable behavior we were getting with Windows 7 and 8.1?
