    How can I rearrange taskbar icons?


    Hi!I would like to rearrange the icons on my taskbar, but they are 'stuck' in an order. I tried looking this up, but I could only find suggestions that involve third-party software, which isn't something I would prefer for my work laptop. I can rearrange icons of different programs no problem, but once I want to change the order of multiple windows of the same program, I can't. Here's a screenshot for clarity; If I click and drag one of the Brave icons, the rest moves along with it.I'm sure that there's a simple way to fix this or toggle it off in a way? Thanks!

    :)

    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
