[quote who="batlady4954" reply="1" id="3848181"] With this latest update to Start11, you have fixed the bane of Windows 11. The inability to ungroup taskbar buttons has had me head back to Windows 10. I am so grateful that Start11 fixed that issue and will tell everyone to get it. I just hope Windows 11 doesn't send an update that breaks it again. Grouped taskbar icons reduce productivity dramatically when one must quickly alternate among several open windows! [/quote] &nbsp

Start11 Makes Windows 11 Ready for the Enterprise in Stardock Blog Stardock Forums

This month, we shipped our largest update so far for Start11 .

More Options for Organizing Your Taskbar in Stardock Blog Stardock Forums

A couple of weeks back, we shipped the first public beta of Start11 v1.2 , which enables a new feature for “ungrouping” the icons on your taskbar. While this feature looks familiar from previous versions of Windows, it’s actually an all-new taskbar that we built in-house in order to enable the functionality. The challenge of building a taskbar from sc

Bringing Ungrouping to the Windows 11 Taskbar is only the Beginning in Stardock Blog Stardock Forums

One of the most popular requests we received when we released Start11 was the ability to ungroup apps on the taskbar. This feature, while present in Windows dating back several decades, was removed from Windows 11. Bringing this feature to Windows 11 was one of the larger engineering uplifts we have undertaken here at Stardock. While it is possible to enable ungrouping on the taskbar with a registry tweak and a bit of memor

Windows 11 Continues to Evolve by Moving the Cheese in Stardock Blog Stardock Forums

When Microsoft released Windows 11 late last year, it was clear that the OS was still a work in progress. There were quite a few missing features, like being able to move the taskbar to the top of the screen, folders in the Start menu, and a lot more. As the months have progressed, the company has been releasing updates within their Insider program to bring "new" features in order to backfill these gaps. While doing so, the company is also introducing new functionality - but at the sa
