I like to have a lot of icons ready-to-go in my taskbar; does Start 11 have a similar feature to Taskbar Groups?  Are they compatible?

e.g., I'd like to put all my browsers in a browser group flyout, Office in another, video editing, etc.

Neither Windows 11 nor Start11 offer the Taskbar Toolbar feature. There are however, some third party apps which create a Taskbar toolbar in Windows 11. No disrespect, but isn't that what the start menu is for. You can create those same groups in the Start11 menu -- assuming you use the windows 10 or Windows 11 Styles -- and access them with fewer clicks than with a taskbar toolbar. Just sayin'.

@pelaird  Not really...if the apps are on the taskbar they're always visible (so zero clicks away) and if they're grouped, 1 click away.  I use Modern...I'll investigate the Windows 11 style.

Thanks.

Would like you to try Stardock Fences.

Thanks, Basj...I already have it.  Doesn't solve this problem, since I have to get to the desktop for the icons (as opposed to having them immediately accessible).  I love Fences for solving the clutter issue...but I don't use the desktop to launch apps.
