How to enable 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. Windows 11 ?
hoanglongson May be very late to this but in case it helps future visitors, I think I've found it!
I right click on the taskbar, and go to "Properties" instead of Taskbar Settings. There is a column of subjects on the left, the top one being "Taskbar." Left-Click that, and on the right side of the window, the top of the list should say "Taskbar style." If you Left-Click that it should give you a dropdown option of "Windows 11 (default)" and "Windows 10." You should be able to click on Windows 10 and some default settings will populate at the bottom.
I hope this is the fix!!
Hi Loia022,
This is part of what explorer patcher adds on windows 11 and what we want as default in W11.
Do you have explorer patcher installed?
drdoug ah! You're right, I checked with our IT person and they had installed explorer patcher without my realizing it. Apologies for any false hopes!!!
I still CANNOT believe they haven't put this small feature back into Windows 11.
I currently use a software name allstartback to make my taskbar classic.
Loia022 Are you able to share a screenshot of the right click where Properties comes up?
and a screenshot where you left click to get the dropdown menu?
I may have to wait for the current update. The only thing I get when I right click on the taskbar is taskbar settings and clicking this brings up Personalization > Taskbar.
Thank you for your help.
