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.

In case it isn't in this discussion, here is the link to the Github Explorer Patcher. Downloading this patch and installing it resolved the problem.

KarenGrube OK .. I ran the explorer patcher and it solved the ability to "not Group" taskbar buttons, but the Win 11 widgets appear to be gone and I don't know how to go back to the Win 11 taskbar if I want/need to ?
thanks

  Hi Everyone!
  
  Yes, I have been very negative on this thread and I do apologize. Though Edge when moved to a new modern code did have some features gone but they did come back.
  
  If anyone wishes to not use Windows 11, go back to 10 you can actually do a registry trick to get it to stay on 21H1.
  
  I believe that the feedback has been seen and will be added soon 🙂
