Choose the installer:

Choose x64 or x86 according to your OS.

• For Windows 10 start with the normal installer SwitchApps_(x64|x86).msi. If the behavior with app grouping is not to your liking, try the AppGroupingMod installer.

• For Windows 11 start with the normal installer SwitchApps_(x64|x86).msi, if the default Taskbar behavior is on (app grouping). If you disabled app grouping with Windhawk Mods - AppGroupingMod version of installer may be the best option.
