HI Guys, When opeaning different vision projects, it opens as different icons on taskbar. I would like it to represent as one icon and when placing cursor, it must show list of projects. Can you please help with this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/6/56606292e9c07da2656cef7cce4914f0123fdda9.png) Thanks. ---

That is purely a function of your operating system. In my KDE desktop (Linux), that is a simple checkbox option in the taskbar settings. ---

~~It's not available "yet"™ for Windows 11.~~ ~~They are supposedly restoring the option in the future.~~ Might as well wait for Windows 12, or whatever they decide to call it, though you probably wont get it then either. In short I wouldn't hold my breath. EDIT: @Kevin.Herron is correct, I misread. 🤦🏻‍♂️ ---

I think they are restoring the opposite option - the option to force _ungrouping_ of grouped task bar items. Right now they are automatically grouped, but I don't know what the criteria is. It sees all the Ignition applications as separate/distinct for whatever reason. ---

Sounds like JDK needs to support setting AppUserModelID somehow first: [[JDK-8188247] Need a way to set AppUserModelID for java and javaw on Windows. - Java Bug System](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8188247) > **[Application User Model IDs (AppUserModelIDs) - Win32 apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/appids)** > > Application User Model IDs (AppUserModelIDs) are used extensively by the taskbar in Windows 7 and later systems to associate processes, files, and windows with a particular application. ---
