Start new instance of pinned taskbar app

Opens a new instance of the app pinned to the taskbar at the specified position (1-9, 0 for tenth).

Win + Shift + Number (0-9)

When to use it

When you need to launch another window of an app already pinned to the taskbar without using the mouse.

Pro tip

Use Win + Shift + 1-9 to open a new instance; if the app is already running, this creates an additional window instead of switching to it.
