Disable grouping on the taskbar

Causes a separate button to be created on the taskbar for each new window. For example, notice the two separate buttons for Notepad on the screenshot:

Demonstration

Also, custom groups can be configured in the settings. For example, you can choose to group Paint and Notepad:

Custom groups

Note: After enabling the mod, the relevant windows must be reopened to apply the grouping settings.

Only Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11 are supported. For other Windows versions check out 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.

Note: To customize the old taskbar on Windows 11 (if using ExplorerPatcher or a similar tool), enable the relevant option in the mod's settings.
