Taskbar buttons for windows that are of the same executable are "stuck" together. How to unstick?

Hi, I'm loving Start11. I always keep my taskbar buttons "ungrouped". However when ungrouped, taskbar buttons representing different windows of the same application executable still "stick together" in a group. You can move this conglomeration of buttons as a group in relation to buttons for other processes., but the individual buttons in the group cannot be separated, nor can they be rearranged within the group. As I recall this is default behavior since Win7 or Win10, but I've been able to achieve this separation with other products in the past (notably 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, and more recently WindHawk, though its implementation is very finicky).

Is this type of separation possible with Start11? Not being able to separate and reorder taskbar buttons as I please is a big pet peeve of mine.

Visual aid for clarity:

Thanks and regards.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. From what I know, there is no such option in current Start11 v2.6.

Thank you,

Thanks, that's unfortunate. However for future readers, I was able to achieve this by disabling Start11's "enhanced taskbar mode", and using WindHawk's "Disable grouping on the task bar" mod. This is of course a tradeoff, since I can no longer use any of Start11's enhanced taskbar customizations, but I hadn't actually needed them for my purposes.

I would be nice in the future if the functionality of this WindHawk mod could be implemented directly into Start11.

Regards.
