Never Group Taskbar Windows 11
Greetings,
I recently installed Windows 11 for testing purposes, as many of our customers are transitioning to it. However, after about 1 hour, I decided to revert to Windows 10. The reason for this change was my frustration with the inability to ungroup icons on the Taskbar. I came across numerous forum threads dating back over two years, where countless users expressed their dissatisfaction, yet it seems Microsoft has not addressed this issue.
I'm left wondering about the purpose of this new Taskbar design – it appears to be a wasted use of space, left and right. Designed to be most unproductiv possible.
What I dont understand, why Microsoft is holding on to this Design even if a high % have show they dissatisfaction about it.
Really disappointed and I wont be using Windows 11 anytime soon. Maybe skip it in total and wait for Windows 12.
