How to enable 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. Windows 11 ?
I recommend you to drop a feedback on this to Microsoft, using Feedback hub app.
Also, see if this guide helps you:

hoanglongson Looks like soon means more than 2 years...
- I have just upgraded to 11, and have no way to bring this view back. Could you, please, screenshot the settings menu?
- its already out

Its been 2 years and this feature still isnt back.
Microsofti s really screwing things up lately. It's really annoying.Agracooter I've installed latest 'dev' build and the option for never combine is accessible. So there is a progress. The question might be when are they going to push it to beta and so on.
Yeah, I have got the never combine working on Dev too (thanks to Deleted for that). It doesn't function quite as well as it does on W10 so hopefully they'll still put some work into improving it.
Looks like it has been 2 years and nothing has been done about this. as well as you cant resize notepad to the way you want and so many other utterly stupid restrictions that do not make any sense.
- Truly the most outrageous and disgusting removal of a necessary feature I have seen in my life. It needs to be top priority to add it in Windows 11.
^ Btw I can resize notepad so not sure what you are referring toteomil1231312 I was referring to not having the ability to resize the notepad window to just a tiny skinny pane you could put on left or right side of your screen as a cheat sheet. I've always had a particular way of doing things and now with notepad there are limits on how far you can resize notepad as well as those thick 1990's tv frame all around with tabs i will never use. I want the old notepad back!
hoanglongsonWow. I've seen 5-year olds with better command of English than the fake chat you posted in that screenshot: https://www.mediafire.com/view/5nokaqkxkrec5ut/Indira-Microsoft_support.png/file
That is just laughably bad and you should be shamed for misleading other posters.
For anyone else, looking for an actual solution (and not a lie about a fix that hasn't materialized in over 2 years), check out the following utility that restores Windows 10 functionality: https://www.startallback.com/
The problem is that people need a solution that they can implement. Installing a utility is NOT an option for most people using Windows 11 in a work environment. Most IT departments have locked down the ability to install utilities or edit registries. It opens up security vulnerabilities, screws up machines when idiots don't know what they are doing, and creates work for the IT people. This NEEDS to become a standard Windows option again. I don't understand how Microsoft employees haven't gone insane with their own OS. I can't tell you how many calendar reminders that I've missed because they hid behind my Outlook icon. Hovering over an icon, to make the previews appear, to guess at the right window (because you have to wait for the thumbnails to generate ((which is slow in Autocad)), then squint at the thumbnails), to pull up the correct window is mind bogglingly slow.
Obviously I agree with you regarding the moronic changes MS have made with W11 and I can fully understand how management and IT will not allow the plebs to alter the registry or install something like explorer patcher.
However if you presented to management the issue of the loss of productivity and how cheap a reliable fix that start all back or start 11 is I could not believe they would not instruct IT to check these or other programs like these for actual, not perceived, vulnerabilities and if none are found install them. The productivity saving far outweighs their cost. It is all about the bottom line. These programs are not free so they also come with warranties.
Of course MS should fix it, but that appears to not to be going to happen, even though it is an easy fix. If third party software can make it work then MS can just make it work. Which begs the question: who at Microsoft has shares in Start 11 and Start All Back, the $ value of these companies must be on the rise now they are needed just to have a simple function returned.
hoanglongsonLOL, that was over a year ago and it still hasn't been fixed.
- Thank. God.
hoanglongson there's no way. only if we talk too much about ir they do some revisions.. otherwise microsoft and its windows is just a last century tech company and they're doing worse everytime they're trying to do something new... try this;

we must do something on social media that is saying
how to get rid of microsoft and its things from our life...
i mean it..
- Looks like that was back in October 2021. It's almost a year later. Is everyone else still stuck on this problem?
- No update or acknowledgement of fixing this issue that I know of to date.
They don't seem to care. Maybe if we all go back to Windows 10 they will take some interest in our comments.
- Have you received the update yet? I still don't have the option of Never Combine Taskbar Buttons. It really sucks...
hoanglongson does Microsoft employee speak English at all? - that screenshot doesn't look legit. 2 sentences and 22 mistakes...

I can't think of a reason to fake this information, see the photo.
Don't always think negatively.- Except... oh, yeah... look at the date on your post and now look at today's real date. DID NOT HAPPEN.
