    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.

I'm a software developer, choosing Windows at work. I won't upgrade to Windows 11 if this option is not available because it would reduce my productivity greatly.

Microsoft, it's OK if you want to dumb down your UI for the average/small screen users, but you're turning your geek users away.
