Just tell me how you customized the left click. If you're saying that it happens without you customizing the left click, then it probably happens when the tweaker is not running, too. Is that right?

Attaching the relevant screenshots:

As far as I understand, you'd like to be able to have this:

Let me know if I misunderstood.

What's your setup? How can I reproduce this?

There are no non-advanced options related to the left click. So please provide your relevant advanced options, and I'll see if I can reproduce it on my computer.

I couldn't reproduce it. What I tried:

• Open and maximize Notepad.
• Minimize it.
• Set "Middle click" to "Switch to".
• Double click on the Notepad taskbar item with the middle mouse button. (1)
• Minimize Notepad again.
• Check "Minimize/restore when mouse is over: Taskbar buttons".
• Restore Notepad by scrolling up aggressively. (2)

During my testing, in steps (1) and (2) (and in general) Notepad never became restored, only minimized or maximized.

I mean if I cycle through windows I'll end up with all windows restored, cuz it's restores ech window one by one.

I mean, a difference between using "Combine taskbar buttons" -> "Always, hide labels" and setting all of the taskbar items to hide labels using taskbar inspector.

And all unnecessary windows will be restored instead of being still minimized.

If you click once, only the last active window is restored. (Maybe you're using "Restore all group items"?)

The unused windows for some reason are forcing themselves to be restored instead of the recent one.

Perhaps your specific app works that way. You can try it with another app such as notepad and see that it restores one window at a time.

And why "Switch to" command for combined items works as thumbnail preview instead of switch to recent window?

That's how it's implemented. It's true for all options - "Switch to", "Minimize", and "Close". I can consider adding a new value to taskbaritem - "Cycle through windows".

You forgot about option to hide labels & combine when full.

OK, that's a valid argument.

And Icons too.

I still don't understand what difference is there between using "Combine taskbar buttons" -> "Always, hide labels" regarding icons. Please show me a screenshot that demonstrates the difference.

I don't know what is a virtual desktop and how it would help me.

But it cycle throw all windows in sequence. I don't want to switch to other windows at all, only the main one from that group.

Yes, it's not exactly what you're asking for, but if you click once you'll get the window you want.

Not activate minimized widows. I meant other window (different application and group).

That works properly for me. I opened a Chrome window and three combined explorer windows. Then I minimized the explorer group, and Chrome got focus. Just like it happens if I right click on the explorer group and choose to minimize all three windows.
