    Multiple windows stacked together in the taskbar


    I can't seem to figure this out, I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro (22H2) and now when I open software that has multiple windows in it, like my stock trading software with several charts, the icons are all stacked together instead of being side by side in the taskbar.
    Having the stock chart icons side by side in the task bar makes it much easier to see which one I want to bring to the front, (or to not minimize), click on to view.

    Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Thanks,

    Hi Steve,

    I believe you are looking for a taskbar setting combine taskbar buttons. Right click on an empty area in the Taskbar then click on Taskbar settings at the bottom of the pop-up menu. Then you will see Settings > Taskbar > Combine taskbar buttons option and from the drop down choose Never. (see below circled in red)
