Ben,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had already started his tutorials and hadn’t gotten to this one yet. It definitely gave me the solution I was looking to find.
All the best to you and the list… Mark

Hey Mark
You can also hold the Windows key and use the number row to open pinned Apps on your Taskbar. For example, the second pinned App on my Taskbar is Microsoft Edge, so I can hold the Windows key and press 2 to launch Edge from anywhere.
Check out this great tutorial from Dan Clark:
Pin and Arrange Apps on the Taskbar
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply. It used to be so easy to simply do the Windows Key plus T and then use first letter navigation. I guess this Old Dog will need to learn a new trick!
Thank you again, Mark

Hi, I don’t think so, as this change has to do with changes to the technology used to display Taskbar and other items on screen. Without going into details, I can say that Taskbar and other items are seen as UIA controls instead of Microsoft Active Accessibility (ask me offlist for some technical details as that is beyond the scope of one screen reader). Cheers, Joseph

Hello All,
In Windows 10 I was able to use first letter navigation on the task bar to open pinned apps. This does not seem to work in Windows 11. Any way to change this?
As always, thanks in advance… Mark
