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!

- ElboylerBrass Contributorhttps://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher is still updated and works well with new updates of retarded W11.
Well, since MS does not give us any feedback it means windows 11 is a complete bullshit and a farce. I just wonder why they invite w10 users to install w11, in the name of WHAT?
- rboxmanBrass ContributorEveryone should continue upvoting the main feedback items from as many devices as you have access to. Open up "Feedback Hub" and search for "taskbar combine". Upvote everything that is returned.
In the meantime rollback to Win10 if you can and prevent as many people as possible from moving to win11. Really, disuade everyone. Friends, family, everyone on social media. A low number of upgraders will get their attention if the 10's of thousands of feedback hub votes do not.
Once you are on win11, and have exceeded the 10 day rollback period, microsoft has no reason to address this problem, you are stuck. You have become a meaningless statistic in their MAU number. - sjdksdjlfsleleCopper ContributorThis is driving me absolutely crazy and slowing down the way I work. They need to bring this into an update ASAP. It really should be my choice how my taskbar works.
- LuizGratonBrass ContributorThe main reason why I'm a windows user is because its much more customizable than apple. It's completely unreasonable this only combine option, unless they want to lose their differentiation that kept highly production to other OS.

sjdksdjlfslele I am telling you use the app "StartAll Back" it will bring everything back the way it is on Windows 10.

Edit 2: I realized later that this is related to a different expected functionality, but still can be useful to some, less grouping at least!
Hello,
I think they changed the text for this function into another text in the settings.
Go to "System" > "Multitasking" > "Snap windows". (In fact I have accessed this by right clicking the group in the taskbar and choosing "Group settings")
There is a checkbox for the option: "Show snap layouts that the app is part of when I hover over the taskbar buttons"
Unchecking this did the trick to me.I hope it helps!
CheersEdit: You can access these settings by searching by "snap settings" in Start.

mauriciolp Sorry, but this does nothing for me. I still can not enable "never combine taskbar buttons". I can't ungroup.
- NinjayCopper ContributorSame here. I just downgraded back to Win 10. They are so incapable those people in Microsoft. Considering seriously to go on apple 😞

hoanglongson Here you go. Probably the best $5 you can ever spend when using windows 11.

Boo, hiss!! I just upgraded to Windows 11 and I hate button stacking/combining. Why would you remove that option?! Fix it, MS!
- fitojbCopper ContributorI’m looking forward having a truly customizable taskbar again.

I'll get back to *nix OSs for personal use if this feature doesn't return. No hard feelings.
