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!
Unbeliveable, as a power-user I'm usually managing 200 chrome tabs grouped in different windows.
I already had to use 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to enable taskbar icon drag re-ordering to continue my productivity.
After installing Windows 11, now even the "never group" option is removed. I understand the point behind it, not every user is a power user and default windows was always complex against the competition, they had to simplify it.
But this simplification should have been "optional" maybe by default enabled.
I tried to get used to it, I tried it but come on..
It feels like trying to use a Smart Phone with keyboard and mouse.
My productivity went from 100% to 10%, I'm spending most of the time trying to find the window I'm looking for. And everytime I switch to a window, I have to re-start the "searching" process from start.
Productivity was my only reason for sticking to Windows for the last 25 years.
And now it strongly feels like, Windows Operating System does not want power users to choose Windows for heavy multi-tasking.
Because as is, the productivity value of the current taskbar is not even funny.
I'm searching for a solution on the internet, but all the solutions are 3rd party.
I'm having hard time to accept how Microsoft was able to let this happen to a flagship OS.

Well said! Windows 11 killed my productivity. I really thought the features would at least be available on Win 11 Pro but they stripped that down too. Really not looking forward to doing a downgrade but I think I might have to.
- I just revert to Window 10 because of that missing feature.
I have 2+ Chrome open (all combine ) + the debugger tools that show as a separate one but with the same icon without text... How can it be productive to use that ?
