Nooooo so the task bar icons represent applications instead of individual windows? Ugh that’s gonna bug me…

Not until they bring back the “never combine” taskbar option. What a dumb idea to omit it for years and not expect push back. You had one job Microsoft.

Yes 🤦🏻♂️ if you have 16 spreadsheets open on your 16k humongous ultra duper wide, it will collapse all sixteen windows into one tiny icon on the taskbar.

You can fix this with StartAllBack:

Oh man, I never even knew they had taken that away. I noped out the moment I heard they had removed the Quick Launch toolbar, but if not for that, the forced combining or tasks would have done the trick.

Looks like they will bring back the option, see bleepingcomputer.com/…/hands-on-with-windows-11s-…

I am using this (enabled with ViveTool) and they need to give us an option to standardize the width. It’s so fuckin annoying to have your taskbar move around when you change tabs or songs. It’s also annoying that short window titles get crunched down to a tiny button.

This might have a “mod” that addresses that: github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk. I use this one if that’s the same thing windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-grouping.

Yeah there was unofficial explorer patch that was available but I just felt like throwing my toys out my pram. In all seriousness, if it’s M$ I expect nothing but the best out of the box, if it’s tinkering I’m after I’m going to main my many linux boxes. For farming all my , erm research activities, you’d think they give a little back.

For me the “can’t believe they got rid of this” was removing the ability to move the taskbar to either side or to the top.
Remember when windows let you have a SQUARE taskbar in the middle of the screen?

Square taskbar? On which version?

Windows 98, lol. Way way back.
