    add new language not listed

    Individual languages cannot be added by a phone owner/user.

    A specific/select set/combination of languages is put on devices intended for specific regions/countries.

    This means that all possible combinations of languages that individual people might wish to see do not exist (such software packages, firmware, has not been created by Nokia).

    And the only proper way of getting whatever languages are available, is to buy a device intended for the region/country where those languages are available.

    DISM Errors & SFC Sannow Errors Source FIle / SOLUTION FOUND

    You may want to be a bit more specific about what you are doing that has caused the need to continually run DISM and/or SFC.

    You may also want to post the specifics concerning the hardware/software combination you are using.

    Continual corruption is not a normal behavior in Windows 10. Your continuing need to resort to these repair tools signifies a fundamental problem that your vague responses are not going to allow anyone here to get a handle on.

    Currently, the only intelligent response (given the information you have provided) would be to tell you to retire your current system in favor of a hardware/software combination that works.

    How to combine only specific process (software) on taskbar?

    You could create (or find the pre-existing) shortcuts for those you want to group together and place them in a folder you create for that purpose. Then you can right click on the Task Bar, select Toolbars, and then New toolbar...

    From there, you can browse to the folder you created, double-click on it to select and then you'll have access to the shortcuts in the folder with a single click of the new toolbar on the task bar.

    If you're only wanting to do that with quick launch icons, there's a Tutorial already covering that here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html

    Hope that helps.

    I think the OP wants 'running' applications grouped except Explorer:

    Thank you for your time and reply.
    What i want is to stop taskbar combine only one process, not the others, let it combine all others except one process, which in my case is windows explorer (explorer.exe), thanks again.

    (Sorry, I was working on my post when the others came in, so I know I'm off in my suggestion, but I wanted to leave this up, as I think it's a handy thing to know)

    Word Man's tip is a great one to remember, and from what I can tell, it's really not used too much. I'm assuming some of that is simply due to lack of knowledge about this even being an option.

    I've been doing it for years and I find it invaluable. I like it much better than having a Desktop crammed with icons and shortcuts. What's more, you can create sub-folders to keep things very tidy. This will work on older versions of Windows as well.

    In my example I have two main folders- Taskbar & Info. Within those folders are sub-folders, which contain shortcuts to some of what I use the most often.

    How to combine only specific process (software) on taskbar?

    That's what I figured, (as per Post #3);
    think you might have to try "Taskbar Tweaker" beta for W10.
