Windows 10: Win 11 - 'Grouping' Items On Taskbar

This item appears to be is currently turned off in 'Settings, 'Accessibility' etc, but I continue to see Wifi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode and other unneeded items dumped into the 'Volume' interface on the taskbar. I need only the 'Start' button lower left taskbar, 'Volume' and 'Date / Time' lower right permanently displayed.Also, in Win 10, pushing the 'Print Screen' key should copy all content displayed on the screen. If it were working now, I'd enclose an image of the 'Volume + unneeded items' on the taskbar This feature is not working now. How do I restore 'Print Screen.'

Forced grouping of icons in the taskbar

The forced grouping of icons in the WIN 11 taskbar is HORRID! How about giving consumers the option to ungroup icons in the taskbar? More user options is a good thing; less user options is NOT consumer-friendly & just ticks off a bunch of people who have their choices and usual production methods taken away from them. Already, WIN 11 users are searching for hacks to get around the forced taskbar icon grouping. I despise the grouping!!! Who decided this is what's best for me? Please fix this mess. It seems that WIN 11 is the latest version of Windows Millennium.

 

Windows 11 Taskbar Item Context Menu Icon Missing

I am trying to find a way to fix broken icons in the right-click context menu of various items in the Windows 11 taskbar.





Affected items are:

• Windows Terminal
  
• Notepad
  
• Microsoft To Do (icon has sporadically come and gone)
  

Troubleshooting steps taken so far:

• unpin/repin affected app
  
• uninstall/reinstall affected app
  
• `sfc /scannow`
  
• `dism /online /clenaup-image /restorehealth`
  
• repair upgrade
  
• deleted files in `%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\*`
  
• deleted files in `%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\*`
  
• deleted reg key `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband`
  

 

Win 11 Taskbar icons get moved into Overflow Menu while there is still space left on the taskbar.

Now that Win11 has added the Taskbar Behaviors back it still hasn't resolved having MULTIPLE items open without grouping them or then moving them into the overflow menu while there is still METRIC **** **** TONS OF SPACE LEFT!!!

My settings are Taskbar to the LEFT, NEVER group, (Why can't I opt to remove label's outside of the grouping function?) and then I still have space for about 5-6 taskbar items but it gets moved to this stupid "overflow menu".

I have been a Windows user since 3.1 and I have NEVER had such a **** experience with Windows Taskbar as in Win 11. IT is called a TASKBAR FFS!!! I use it to get TASKS done!!! MULTIPLE TASKS!!! SO make it a Taskbar again and stop with this stupid amalgamation like everyone is running around with a tablet or smart phone.
