Win10 taskbar in Win11? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! I’ve been pushed on my work machine to use Windows 11. I’m not loving too much the taskbar, which won’t allow to have 2 rows of windows, and the single row of tasks gets a ‘…’ button as soon as it’s getting a bit crowded. This makes it very difficult to find your app. I don’t want to combine tasks, and I’d very much prefer to have two rows of tasks. Is there any trusted (FOSS) way of doing this? Seems there’s no easy registry key to just enable it these days.

No longer in active development since 2017, Open Shell is the current project:

Nice. I guess I need an update. It just works.

This...seems more focused on WIn7 look-like for the start menu. I guess a reminiscent of the Win7 to Win8 move? But I meant the taskbar, where the active applications minimize to. Windows likes to group the tasks together in a bundle, with a massive bulky button. I like to have smaller icons but ungrouped tasks, so I can see each one individually without having to click bundles to find an individual window. Does Open-Shell-Menu do this, too?
