How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
- Jul 30, 2024The 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.

Just adding my contribution to the need of uncombined Taskbar. I want that back too!!
I will also add that in Windows 7, I always used a registry tweak to resize the taskbar tasks to only see the icons. So I had a NEVER combine tasks and DO NOT SHOW titles. This was the perfection of my taskbar. No combersome large titles tasks, none combined and easy to access instead of this VERY dumb and inconvenient hover-wait-and-click method. I never loved that.
