How to Group Apps on Your Taskbar in Windows 10 With TaskbarGroups

Is your taskbar looking a little cluttered? TaskbarGroups is here to fix that.

Windows 10’s taskbar provides easy access to frequently used and currently open applications, but adding shortcuts for every one of your favorite apps can clutter it up. Fortunately, TaskbarGroups can help you organize your taskbar to your liking.

Let’s check out why TaskbarGroups is the application for you.

What is TaskbarGroups?

Adding multiple apps or shortcuts to the taskbar can lead to it looking messy and leave you with little space for anything else. TaskbarGroups is a third-party application that allows you to create app groups for quick access shortcuts to apps, links, or other files in the taskbar.

It allows you to group these apps based on how often you use them, apps that are often used together, or any number of other organizational options. You can give names and add unique icons for easier visual navigation.
