Is there a way to never combine task bar icons, but still not display their labels?
This worked on Windows 7 with a registry hack found here, but it doesn't work as expected on Windows 10. It is especially useful if you have multiple instances open, you know their order and you want to save this one click you always have to make when they're combined.
Not an option here
Example of what I'd like:
Is this possible without 3rd party applications? Preferably using a registry hack.
Note: It is possible using a simple Registry hack in Windows 7, however, it's a completely different story for Windows 10.

How did you get the white text? I know a little hack but it only gives black text. – RookieTEC9 – 2015-11-21T00:03:14.243
What white text? You mean of the windows title bar? That's Windows 10 Threshold 2. And the second picture is photoshopped. – bytecode77 – 2015-11-21T00:04:17.223
The white text on top of the titlebar.

Related: This older post asked exactly this question, except for Windows 7. The answers mentioned registry hack and third-party tool. Not sure if still applicable for Windows 10.

– Paul – 2019-04-30T18:30:24.577Not a duplicate! This is an easy registry hack for Windows 7. However, for Windows 10 this is completely different. – bytecode77 – 2019-05-02T09:43:01.950
