Excel 2010 missing windows in the taskbar compared to what is open on Windows 2012 R2

We have an issue with Excel 2010 (SP2 with updates - 14.0.7147.5001 (32-bit) ) and not showing ALL open Excel workbooks on the taskbar, compared to is actually open on Windows Server 2012 R2.

The issue appears very random. Sometimes it will open all Excel documents, other times it won't. Doesn't matter if its a combination of old .XLS or .XLSX files.

This issue is very similar to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office\_2010-customize/windows-81-not-showing-actual-open-files-at/4b5d51f0-a4b3-47f3-98f8-1de4001e4fd6 for windows 8.1

Setting the Taskbar properties to Never Combine does not fix the issue.

Can someone from Microsoft please confirm this is a bug or otherwise recommend a solution ? As it doesn't appear to be resolved in the forums. Only option appears to be upgrading to Office 2013.
