I want to disable the grouped icon menu

This is the menu I'm talking about:

I just want a window to show up when I click an icon, that's it.


PS:
I tried reaching out through e-mail for about a month now, but I haven't received a single reply.

If you are talking about the NextSTART taskbar
Press CTRL-F12 or right-click the taskbar and choose Preferences. In the Preferences window, switch to the "Taskbar" tab, click "Tasklist Settings" and then change your task "Grouping" settings.

Thank you!
Forgive me for forgetting to specify.
I was talking about Nexus Ultimate.

Your tip works pretty much the same for Nexus Ultimate.
This does indeed work to get rid of the grouped menu, however I would really like to keep the app grouping, I just don't want to see the menu when I click on an icon. It should just open the app for me.

Any ideas how to reach this result?

I have mine grouped and then I hover to let it show me thumbnails of the windows. I then click the thumbnail of the window I want to bring to the front. (This is assuming I don't use Alt-Tab or Windows-Tab to select my window.)

Also, note, I'm using NextSTART's taskbar and don't use the dock as anything except a launcher, so I don't switch windows in the dock. That's just my preference, not a statement of who is doing things right or wrong. :-)

I see. I tried it for a bit, but that setup doesn't really work that well for me. It still adds another click in between launching.

It looks like there's an option that does precisely what I want:

However this option doesn't do anything for me at all. Disabled or enabled.

Anyone else here with an idea?


I tried reaching out to developer through email for more than a month, but I'm being ignored.
