Let’s take a look at how you can do this and ungroup the icons in the taskbar in Windows 11.
Icon Grouping was a new feature in Windows introduced in Windows 10. When activated, this feature would group all your instances of an app, regardless of how many windows you had open, under a single taskbar icon.
By hovering over the icon, you can view and select one of the open instances. The idea behind this feature was to better manage the taskbar and keep it organized for users who usually have multiple windows open on their desktop.
