How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?

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.

HI Cynipid and Everyone, it seems that this new taskbar according to this article the taskbar was made from scratch on a modern architecture so that is why it doesn't have it yet. Though it may come by the Fall 2022 update 🙂

Thanks for sharing this. It looks like they will be restoring drag & drop to the taskbar. I did not have much of an issue with that. I am disappointed there was no reference to re-adding the never combine option.
