Windows 11 - Shift+Left Click to open a new instance of app

Was the Shift + Left Click shortcut removed from the taskbar?

I have the same issue, shift-left click is not working to open a new instance.

Instead i need to use middle mouse or shift+control left click now.

Seems to be related to the windows 11 upgrade but i am not 100% sure, i also recently started using PowerToys and a little tool RBTray.

Wim-G I also found that CTRL+Shift worked to open a new window, but on my PC (and this could be from Power Toys) it runs the new instance as Administrator. Not a bad thing overall, but certainly not the function I would be expecting.
