A long time ago, I used "7+ Taskbar Tweaker" that added a lot of nice things to Windows 7, like reordering the tasks in the taskbar. Now I'm remembering that the best feature was to ungroup the windows of the same task, that was super nice to edit two documents in Word
It used a lot of magic, probably overwriting dll calls in the kernel of Windows. It looks like it only partially support Windows 11 https://ramensoftware.com/7-taskbar-tweaker

It's by the same developer, m417z.

Way to make me feel old! I'm still using it!

Aah that's better.
The tool still works on 10 btw, and offers some options not available otherwise - eg properly narrow taskbar when vertical (about small icon width wide).
Wasn't that taskbar/windows thing just a toggle in official taskbar settings?
A replacement for the ungrouping with WindHawk is https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-grouping. There may be other mods that also cover that.
