Rollback due to missing "never combine taskbar buttons"...

The missing "never combine taskbar buttons" is annoying me so much that I wanna rollback to windows 10, it was a mistake to upgrade without checking the changes first. Anyways, how do I rollback?

Hi  tiktok786 

If 10 days have passed since the installation of Windows11 then you need to perform a clean installation of Windows10 - this will delete everything - it is necessary to make a copy of your personal files, please download the media creation tool:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10?36261b60-2f68-4336-abe2-4b00f210b6aa=True

"

Follow these steps to create installation media (USB flash drive or DVD) you can use to install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10.

Before you download the tool make sure you have:

An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external drive for the download.
A blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space or blank DVD (and DVD burner) if you want to create media. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted.
When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you are told the disc image file is too large you will need to use Dual Layer (DL) DVD Media.
Check a few things on the PC where you want to install Windows 10: "

      Yes, it's a lot of work, but downgrading Windows must be a clean installation - unfortunately!
      Many people forget that Windows Old is automatically deleted after 10 days.
      Good luck

        I've been using the free Explorer Patcher since hitting the same wall of frustration when I first rolled over late last year, and it works fine, although I did have to reinstall it after a Windows update a few weeks ago. Apart from allowing "never combine taskbar buttons", it also allowed me to restore a few other taskbar icons at right of taskbar that I really like to have there.
        See https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-ungroup-icons-on-windows-11-taskbar-with-a-registry-hack/ for a guide.
