    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.

This is TERRIBLE! A really, really bad decision! I'm having do relay on thidr-part application to use this feature, otherwise I would reverse the upgrade to Windows 10. Combined buttons is VERY unintuitive, HUGE time drag because it makes me look for the correct windows and execute an extra click to open the correct one. I'm a system developer, I'm always with a lot of windows opened at the same time, it's impossible to work with combined buttons! Please, give us a native option to never combine the icons!
