One would think there was some reasoning behind this, but it all just seems like ”let’s make it different because if it’s the same people complain that there’s nothing new in Windows 11”
- accoil 4y agoOh wow, and 7+ Taskbar Tweaker can't fix the grouping either[^1]. I use it in Win 10 to ungroup without labels as that's not a configurable option. Looks like the dev has moved to Windhawk, and that at least has partial support for ungrouping[^2].

- nikanj 4y agoStart 11 ( https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/ https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/ ) can ungroup the taskbar, but at the cost of making the Start menu / taskbar / systray generally unstable. They are reasonably good at restarting Explorer as needed, but you can definitely tell that something's wrong.
