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!

What I mean is the new windows 11 22H2 iso is re-edited and made simplified to use so if you want to re-install go ahead otherwise forget it because many people are saying that windows 11 is an inferior product so what can I say now its very very difficult to explain to people to at least try out what somebody says.
Anyways give the updated normal ISO of windows 11 a try or leave it which does not even matter anymore since Microsoft has to to through a lot by im-patient people to even wait patiently for an update and one thing " Update if you want".Those who do not meet the requirements of windows 11 save money to buy another laptop or forget windows 11.
And one last thing for people who say that Microsoft could have done this or that earlier or now or then or anytime i ask only one question "Why cant you give ideas or suggestions on how to bring it back because people do not even learn how to make an operating system and you are just ordering Microsoft to do things when you need something and not waiting for it to come in a major update which is very disappointing to see that people cannot even wait for an update because Microsoft does not only handle one windows but has to handle millions of matters at one time and i ask can you do it if you were demanded to make an update as immediately as you can?
So wait for the UPDATE and please stop demanding and ordering and be patient or at least learn from your life experiences how to be patient.
OK so your a MS fanboy or employee.
Patience?? How many years do people have to wait for the return of a much needed setting that should never have been removed.
It is not just never combine alone that causes productivity loss, without never combine you cannot fully get rid of a sneak peak like situation on the taskbar.
I suggest if you want to have patience go right ahead, but don't tell people who have been waiting for this setting for years to be returned while suffering major productivity loss to be effin patient. At setting that third party software can return.
W11 like 8 and millennium is a dog and needs to return to the quality of 10. MS have some strange agenda where they have to fiddle with the OS till they break it.
- Microsoft - how long before this moves intro regular Windows 11 releases? 🙂
Explorerpatcher users, be aware.. Again latest Windows update makes menu crash. First update ExplorerPatcher before any Windows 11 update.

This is definitely a step forward - 2 years without this feature was a waste of time!
Hello Microsoft programming team, I am really struggling with the 'Never Combine taskbar buttons' feature in Windows 11. I need to able to see all the taskbar files instead of hovering over them to pick one. I only have 2 screens, but this feature causes me to need 10+. This feature is so counterproductive and annoying. Please work on a fix sooner than later.
- which beta version it is available on? how to download it?
- this is the most stupid thing ever done by these imbeciles at MS. what is the point of task bar, if you don't show any tasks??? have your brains got filled with environmental friendly crap instead of actual engineering thinking? thank you for pushing more users to apple.
Best way to do it to tweak Registry Entry.
1. Run>Regedit
2. Paste this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
3. Look for TaskbarGlomLevel
4. Set value to 2
5. Open Task Manager and look for "Window Explorer" in Processes section
6. Select "Window Explorer" and click on "Restart task".
You can now see the changes in task bar.
To restore back to previous taskbar behavior, please set TaskbarGlomLevel value to 0Sadly this registry edit did not work for me. I'm Windows 11 Home 22H2 with all the latest updates. OS Build 22621.2070
I did upgrade from Windows 10. Maybe that makes a difference.HeyVeganTacos there's an English saying that goes 'Patience is a virtue.' In the upcoming Windows 11 release, the 'Never combine' button will be reintroduced in the settings.
