How to enable 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. Windows 11 ?
Hi @all I did not find this function 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. How can this function be found and enabled in windows 11? I can't work with multi-tab on windows 11. Thank you!
Microsoft, we need the "Never combine taskbar buttons" option returned! Our company recently updated to Windows 11 after waiting almost a year and grouped taskbar buttons in highly inefficient. Instead of an instant single click I now have to hover over the group, scan the group, determine which instance is needed, and select it. Although additional time is minimal, the additional mental energy is infuriating. Previously with ungrouped icons the customer experience was automatic and instantaneous. Now it requires mental effort every time I need to simply go to a different instance of the program. Needless. Pointless. Please put the power to not combine taskbar buttons back into the hands of the user. Thank you!
- Totally agree !!
- On this morning's welcome screen on my computer when I woke it up: "Built with accessibility in mind, Windows 11 is empowering everyone to do more." Seriously - that is a verbatim quote! I found it so amusing, in light of this Never Combine forum, that I wrote it down! Forced combining icons is exactly the opposite of empowering everyone to do more - it slows us down to do less in the same amount of time (unless they are implying we are doing "more work" to do the same thing!!!!!) Great quote, Microsoft - celebrating everyone doing more (work)!
Here's the solution for me. IT team is rolling me back to Windows 10. They dislike 11 for a lot of other reasons, so it's a win-win for both of us. No interest in going to 11.
