    The November 2023 update added “never combined” mode on the taskbar for Windows 11. To find this feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors. Set Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels to Never. It also added a separate setting for turning this feature on for other taskbars when you use multiple monitors.

huali1405 I TOTALLY agree.  I was very disappointed to find that this was no longer an option.  Setting the tabs to Never Combine was the first thing I would do when installing Windows.  Removing that option is very inconvenient.

    Exactky. Why wasn't this the default in Windows? I painfully watch so many developers and multi taskers waste so much time LOCATING and PICKING because they don't know it's an option. PAINFUL
