Windows 10: Taskbar - Win 11

I am trying to get my taskbar to ungroup my open files but it is lumping them all together into one icon. Now I have to hover over the icon, wait for it to open and show the multiple open files/windows and then select the one I want to work on. This despite the fact that the taskbar has 70% free space not being used at all. The old way you choose choose to lump them together or show them separately. This really wastes a lot of time now.Is this a change to Windows 11? If yes, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease change it back. If not, how do I set it to ungroup them?Thanks!
