How to enable 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. Windows 11 ?
hoanglongson for now you may try https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases
You just put dxgi dll into windows folder, restart and you can tweak taskbar to be like in windows 10 with nevercombine options etc. Everything is described in the link.
Elboyler Sir, the link you have posted was not enough accurate. But anyway, that app just solved the issue for Windows 11
here is the instruction: I just installed the app, gave admin permission (scary, but 'thanks' to 'genius' from microsoft who decided he/she can be innovator in usability based on focus group of people with very strong deviations from the common user group),"
5 seconds the bar disappeared, and then *PUFFF* the old Win 10 configurable bar is back!
I got the app from here:

- FFS and RTFM, and why are you calling me sir? 🙂 The link was accurate and is working till every w11 version. I'm on beta which does NOT need damned EXPLORER PATCHER anymore.
As Explorer Patcher is changing system files, and that may break stuff, a inplace upgrade will reset those to the correct ones.
Hi, I am also an ExplorerPatcher user but be cautious, before every Windows major update, remember to update ExplorerPatcher first (right the taskbar, select Properties, you will see update), otherwise it may result in the menu disappearing.
- No need for ExplorerPatcher, Windows 11 will have this feature for everyone in the 23H2 update that is coming out soon.
Also, I don't think we are allowed to share 3rd party apps on Tech Community,My employer (a global multinational) installs a new Windows feature update every two or three years, after extensive testing that all possible business apps work in it. So we'll have to wait for a couple of years for this important Windows 10 feature to return. Thanks MS 😞
