Ungroup items on the Taskbar in Windows 11
I need help on how to ungroup items on the Taskbar in Windows 11
- Does anyone from Microsoft read this thread? This is top urgent feature that needs to be restored. I just upgraded to win11 and the new taskbar is simply killing me.
- I rolled back and blocked updates. I can't work like that.
- Pernille-Eskebo, seriously? You forgot to ask the actual users how important ungrouping icons is?
- Yes, we need to bring back "Never Combine taskbar buttons' to taskbar settings!
- This is by far the WORST DECISION Microsoft could have made. Agree
- Bring Back the ability to ungroup!!!!!
It's not right to lose this ability!!! Microsoft, bring back the ungroup ability, and don't take credit for 'offering' a new feature.
- Windows 11 is the first version which i does'nt install on my work machine, becouse of "THIS FEATURE". I dont wont to make pain to myself every work day. Give back ability to ungroup tasks in taskbar!

So just run https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/releases/latest/download/ep_setup.exe
When it is done, right click taskbar and chose "properties". Then change "Combine taskbar icons on main taskbar: to "never combine"" and "Combine taskbar icons on other taskbars: to never combine." And you have all icons ungrouped again.

I really dont like this new "feature" its not very productive at all.Misguided attempt at creating a "cleaner" look results in sacrificing user ease-of-use and productivity. Please restore this feature as soon as possible. It's clear from the community's response that ungrouping was a popular and often-used feature.
Unfortunately this is no longer productive when you are switching windows a lot when developing code.
It may be fine for your normal desktop user but not from a business viewpoint.
I regret going to Windows 11 for this singular reason.
