Since Win10 is phased out I am changing from Microsoft to Lynux. Are there any plans to develop apps for this platform?

Two Chrome Portable versions show as one icon on Windows 10 taskbar

Hi,

I’m using Windows 10 (64-bit) and have two separate Chrome Portable versions running from different folders:

Both launch fine with their own profiles, but when I open them together, Windows groups them under one single Chrome icon on the taskbar.

Is there a way to make multiple Google Chrome Portable instances appear as separate icons on the Windows taskbar?

It has been several years since I have done anything with a Computer/Laptop.
The Laptop I have is saying I can't install this while in S Mode.
How do I get around this? And is it a bad thing to do?
