Ungroup Icons in Taskbar

Windows 11 appears to have eliminated the ability to ungroup icons in the taskbar. After years of getting users used to having this ability, the fact that someone at Microsoft felt it wasn't needed is a clear miss for Windows 11.

I've tried installing Open-Shell and ExplorerPatcher, but neither return the ability to view ungrouped taskbar items.

Why is this important? Imagine you are working across 4 documents and need to quickly move between versions which you may have opened as 1, 2, 3, 4 windows. You can't do this accurately in the Windows 11 scenario.

Is there any means to ungroup icons in the taskbar/

God, I miss Windows 7.
