    Need Multiple Chrome Icons on taskbar: how do I do that?


    I am *completely* new to Win 10 (got a new comp), so bear with me a bit, please. :)

    For the work I do on the Internet, I need to have a separate Chrome icon displayed on the taskbar for every of the three iterations (or instances) of Chrome I need to have open to do that work. How do I do that? Have Win 10 Version 1909 (Build 18363.592), And thank you for any assistance I receive!!! :)

    You're only getting part of the picture in dalchina's image...

    Right click Taskbar, click "Taskbar settings", in the right panel (Taskbar) look for the "Combine taskbar buttons" dropdown menu, and choose "Always, hide hide labels" (this combines buttons and always hide labels names of icons).

    So for example: whether you have 1 or 10 chrome pages open, you will still only see one icon for Chrome. In addition there will be no label names for icons, even when you hover over them.

    Here's a tutorial BTW - Always, Sometimes, or Never Combine Taskbar Buttons in Windows 10

    Also, we've a large selection of tutorials on Windows 10 and settings.

    Hope this helps :)
