Hello, itge13, and welcome to the DonationCoder site. 

Is there a way to switch Taskbar Button Grouping with a hotkey between "combine" and "not combine" w/o restarting explorer? Preferebaly as AHK

Here's some AHK code to do what you want.  I've successfully tested this on Windows 7 so please let us know if it works on your Windows 10 machine.

Code: ( autohotkey)

#k:: ; Win+K -- change as necessary
{
    ; 0 = Always combine, hide labels
    ; 1 = Combine when taskbar is full
    ; 2 = Never combine
    RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced, TaskbarGlomLevel, % ( ( Toggle ) ? ( "0" ) : ( "2" ) )  
    SendMessage, 0x1A, , , ,  % "ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd" ; WM_SETTINGCHANGE := 0x1A
    WinSet, Redraw, , % "ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd"
    Toggle := !Toggle
}
Return
