Hi, it's me again with another senior moment issue. 
Installed Win 11 last week and having issues with the taskbar shortcuts.
In days of yore (like 2 weeks ago in Win 10) when a Taskbar shortcut button was clicked any open folders/docs in that program would tile and you could select the needed file/folder/window. Say, I had three Word docs open, I'd just click on the shortcut and the open files would be available from which I could select the open file I wanted to work on. Same with File Explorer if I had two or three folders open in the background.
First, my taskbar is on the screen top where it is intended to be...
See bottom image.
You will have to click on the image below to enlarge.
So, say, I have opened a file explore folder which in this example, is "post" being a folder containing a few images that I want to post on Facebook or PSEM. Fine, I open it originally and select an image and then the window is minimized. A few minutes later I change Facebook groups and want another file out of that same "post" folder. I have to right click (I actually left mouse and left click) to get a drop down menu of recently opened folders. So I select the "post" folder again. Well okay, BUT after posting on 2 or 3 sites and/or FB messages there are several "post" folders open. Not just the original folder. Every time I select that "post" folder it opens a duplicate folder...again and again until there are many copies of the same "post" folder open at the same time. It's rather silly. See enlarged image below.
My Gmail is open all day. When starting a new email I prefer to have a floating window (Compose/shift). Fine, but I start another task and Gmail is minimized. That new floating email is buried and not readily accessible. In days of yore that new floating gmail was available with clicking the "Chrome " shortcut on the taskbar. Not any more!! It's frustrating.
What am I missing here? Is there a setting that should be changed? Is it just me? Suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Clive
