Can we just ungroup the damned Taskbar already? I don't understand why they are being so stubborn on this.
That's already available for insiders and can be enabled, meaning it will soon-ish come to the stable versions of Windows 11.
I recommend StartAllBack. Granted no third party apps should be required for such a simple feature, StartAllBack does this and more.
I second this. I've tried all of the other programs that make customization changes to the taskbar and StartAllBack feels native. I forget that I'm using a third party tool until I switch to another computer and wonder why the start menu is utter garbage.
It won't be needed on the 26th, ungrouping was announced months ago.
I do love StartAllBack though. I'm curious if the new file explorer will convince me to stop using the Win10 Ribbon mode in StartAllBack
Ungroup icon of multiple instances of one app into separate taskbar items? That's been in insider builds for some time now. (Luckily...)
They're not being stubborn, it's coming in this same update and was announced at least 6 months ago
I keep hearing this complain so I guess it clearly bothers some people but personally to me it never causes any issues nor I see the benefit on ungrouping.
If you have multiple windows of something you can go to the one you need directly. Them always bring grouped and requiring twice as many steps instead feels like I'm being handicapped by the OS.
Idk I guess I barely use the mouse for windows changing and that's why doesn't bother me. Well that and I don't think I have that many apps with multiple windows that group, except I guess the file explorer but now it has tabs support.
Lol its a trillion dollar company. They make the rules. Its Not the other way around.
Who really owns the computer you paid for :/
You. But the People that provide the OS control it. That's the case with Free OS too.
If someone else controls it then you don't own it - it only does what you want if the real owners says so.
I'd disagree.you can still sell it's break it, throw it out of a window, and so on. But control is outsourced. And it has to be, because developing your own system is too impractical. It's not a bad thing that your OS is controlled by orgs, they push updates and software we don't even know about that makes stuff work. But it's a bad thing when that org is scummy, like M$
I can't make or fix a car but I choose the 3rd parties to fix my property how I want it, or if it gets fixed at all. Being able to crash my car or being able to "resell a license" (in the EU) is not enough.
