How to enable 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. Windows 11 ?
Good news people.
There are rumors that "Microsoft plans to bring back the "never combine" option for the Taskbar to ungroup apps and show labels again."

- ChristianG_Mar 16, 2023Brass ContributorRead it from other sources in the meantime. Seems to be true! Congratulation Microsoft. You begin to understand what powerusers need. As I'm one of them, have some tips for further improvement:
"Only one click to access" - rule not only for open tasks, also for frequently used apps and ressources is a further boost in productivity. Design trends come and go but if you boil it down to the essentials: Having important ressources right at hand everytime is unbeatable. Scientifically this means "Only one click" is the easiest, most efficient and least annoying way to access frequently used ressources such a new instance of your notes app, your corporate lunch menu and your project folders. Pinned apps at a place where my tasks are supposed to be don't really do the job. But there is good news: You already invented the solution! You just need to bring it back as well! It's called quick launch bar and it's really handy.
Ah and by the way: Why do you prevent me to place my taskbar on top if the screen? All important controls are on top. Window controls, browser tabs, Application Menus (Save as...). Modern screens are huge. What's the point of travelling up and down all the time?
Seriously - I think you guys aren't really aware what you core userbase needs. People who need to work with PCs 8 hours a day. But bringing back the feature is a step in the right direction. Is there any kind of user participation or feedback programme at Microsoft? Would love to participate.- DeletedMar 16, 2023
Canary channel project - time to implement to the stable version of Windows - it's almost 2 years , but it's a long way - of course I support it :

I used to have all for me necessary buttons in just the customized bars. After the change I need to go through menus! A huge productivity drop.

NoviceLevelUP Hi,
Yes, this is nonsense - invented to make people click on ads and other add-ons that are on the site - not worth reading!
