There is no confirmed release date by Microsoft with this feature, so you can only guess!

Check these errors and then think -

Also see this news which is official -

Windows 11 version 23H2 release date
Microsoft has yet to announce a specific release date for Windows 11 version 23H2, but it's safe to assume it'll happen in fall 2023. This will most likely be in September or October, near the launch of new Surface devices.

Starting in September 2022, Windows 11 received an update to 22H2, which added a ton of new features like more advanced touch gestures, folders in the Start menu, tabs in File Explorer, and more. This was the first major feature update the operating system received. Later in 2023, there will be another update to 23H2, which also adds more features, such as Windows Copilot, RGB lighting controls (called Dynamic Lighting), and a modernized File Explorer.

However, these traditional feature updates aren't the only way Windows 11 gets new features. Since version 22H2 released, Microsoft has also rolled out what have been called Moment updates, which include sets of features bundled in regular cumulative updates.

Android App support for windows.

Optimizations for touch devices.

A beautiful new Photos app.

Already existing snipping tools in a screenshot.

(two ways - press prtscr button or windows button and prtscr button for screenshot of your screen)

New Taskbar and a new modernized structure.

I see so many bugs -> that are officially reported - I'm not sure that the implementation of this feature will be October 1, 2023.
Implementations are always gradual to specific versions and devices – > certainly everyone at the same time will not have this function!'

  Well then let us leave it to the developers and feedback.

    I've seen commentary from a range of sources saying Microsoft "re-added" this feature since 2021. It's now approaching 2024 and there's still no official patch for this missing functionality.
    
    What is the most official source stating "Never combine" is in the Windows 11 version 23H2 update? As in, citation needed. Not 'probably will be'. Not 'expected' or 'hopefully'. I think two years is probably enough for folks to expect a basic fix. At this point, waiting this long, it honestly looks like promising the fix in some vague, future update is just a way to stop folks complaining.
    
    Happy to be proven wrong though.
