Forced window grouping.

That was idiotic. The work computer has win11 we use a proprietary software that doesn't display in the hover popup. So I've you've got 4 windows open of that software.. good luck guessing which one is which from the taskbar.

It took them ages after launch to add that back into windows.

That sounds terrible. Does Win+Tab get you the preview? That would have probably been my first thought after the frustration set in.

Hilariously Enough on win11 it previews the window if you hit the alt desktop button on the taskbar.. so I started doing that before they put ungroup back. Lol

I recently learned you can use modifier keys while clicking taskbar programs. Ctrl cycles between program instances without showing the preview. Shift opens a new one. Ctrl+shift opens one as admin I think?
