Open multiple apps from Start Menu in Windows 11/10

Like you can see in the above images, I used the Windows Key to launch multiple apps, and they are all in the background. It works like a charm. Though, I noticed that the apps from Windows Store launch much faster compared to the classic programs on Windows 10.

Open multiple instances of a single app

If you want to open multiple instances of a single Microsoft Store app or program, you can use the same Windows key and keep clicking on the same app. If the app supports multiple instances, you should see the increasing count in the taskbar. You can use the Cntrl or Shift key and click.

You could also press the mouse middle button on a taskbar or desktop item, multiple times to open multiple instances of the app. Related reads:
