Re: How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?

i have tried developer (DEV Channel) but it is more unstable than Beta Channel so i am sticking to beta channel.
But dev channel only works for two months or so then gets unstable but i am sticking with Beta channel which really really has minimum errors.

i am happy you got the required settings and options you wanted but maybe if a lot of people suggest that option then only people will be able to make optional features for different versions fo windows and i hope it comes true which i also need anyways lets hope for the best.

    And they already broke it. Stopped working (or planning to remove already?) I the latest insider build.

      This is an excerpt from the Insider Beta Blog - the latest version - explains that we are getting closer to the stable version of Windows11 :

      "[Taskbar & System Tray]
      The settings for never combined mode for the taskbar are showing up under Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors in this build however they currently do not enable the experience. This will be fixed in a future Beta Channel flight soon.
      The ability to end task when right-clicking an app on the taskbar should be working correctly in this build and can be managed under Settings > System > For developers."

        They released this boondoggle almost 2 years ago and it still does not work right.

        Being able to choose whether to combine taskbar icons seems so elementary and now that work has forced the update to Win 11 this is highly negatively impactful to my day to day efficiency.

         

        When I have multiple windows open with 20 tabs on each I want to be able to just click on the window I want, not have to hunt and peck for it.

         

        Absolutely sucky.
