Preserve Desktop 1 Taskbar organization when I switch to Desktop 2 and back to Desktop 1. Right now it gets jumbled.
I have 2 desktops and keep Desktop 1 in a specific order. When I switch to Desktop 2 and then back to Desktop 1 the Taskbar has been rearranged and not as left it. Is there a Setting to avoid this or is it a bug? Thanks! Love 7+ TT.

Looks like you're looking for the virtual_desktop_order_fix advanced option. See the answer here for details:

I applied Windhawk patch Virtual Desktop Preserve Taskbar Order but it didn't work. I swit
ched to Desktop2 and back to Desktop1. Some of the order was preserved but not all. Images are in reverse order. Bottom image is Desktop1 start, New Tab is Desktop2, Messages for Web is back to Desktop1.
Did you install the mod and then tried that? The mod only affects re-order events which happened after the mod was installed. That means that as long as the mod is active from the beginning, it should work, but if it was installed at some point while there are open windows, it won't remember the order for them.
A quick test to check that the mod works is to follow the steps in the short video here:

I think I got it. Because I'm using ExplorerPatcher to get the Win10 Taskbar on Win11 I had to use the Advanced setting in 7TT for Virtual Desktops to make it work. Thanks to the Tip in the Windhawk description of the mod. "Only Windows 11 is currently supported. For older Windows versions check out 7+ Taskbar Tweaker."
