How can I quickly switch between too many windows in the taskbar?
The taskbar always stacks all windows of the same software together. When there are too many windows open, it's impossible to tell which is which, and clicking on them is very troublesome. Is there a way to quickly find and switch to the window I want to use?

Of course! This drives me crazy too. Here are the fastest ways to handle it:
Use the Keyboard Shortcut: Press Alt + Tab and hold the Alt key. This brings up a window switcher. Keep tapping Tab to cycle through all your open windows until you find the one you want.
Hover for a Peek: Hover your mouse over the taskbar icon. A small preview thumbnail of each window will pop up. If you have many, you'll see a list of them. Just click the one you need.
The Scroll Wheel Trick: Simply hover your mouse over the taskbar button for the app (like your browser) and scroll your mouse wheel. This will cycle through all the open windows for that application.
Hello. That is a really good solution. But there is something that makes it easy to organize programs like if you had two or more monitors. Pressing windows + tab make you able to switch between virtual copies of your desktop. Like on the first monitor you got some programs that are needed to be on the desktop and there is no space. You can just switch on the second virtual desktop using this combination and use other programs. Have a good day!
