How to enable 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. Windows 11 ?

I think one of the major contributors to this remarkably unwise and ignorant decision by Microsoft is the prevalence of amateurs on platforms like YouTube and other media sharing platforms. You very rarely come across actual professionals demonstrating techniques and procedures on them, they're mostly just keen amateurs who, while supplying good information for the most part, are not concerned with productivity and probably mostly unaware of productivity features. As a result, Microsoft sees thousands of "so-called" user videos, all of which are combining their taskbar items leading them to conclude that the feature is rarely used. The same goes for things like not hiding known file extensions. I can count on one hand the number of "quasi-expert" videos I've watched where the creator has not got known file extensions hidden. One of the very first things a true power user will do is to turn that nonsense off.

To Pernille-Eskebo I would say this (not that they will ever see this). You made a mistake. This was a poor and ill-considered decision based on faulty feedback data. Swallow your pride, bury your ego for a minute and reflect on the facts without bias and it will become blatantly clear. Don't try to come up with excuses, justifications and rationale behind this, don't defend a bad idea. Restore the feature, admit to your faults, learn and move on.
