    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.

Well add me to the list of disgusted long time windows users. It's almost as if MS hired a mac developer and they are doing this to F with us. Just awful.

    I understand the philosophy of this grouping feature and I love changing my habits to see if there is a better way. I've been trying to work with it for 1 month and sadly it is not working for me ! I think that for a small laptop it makes sense but if you work on big triple screens setup with a lot of browser windows open it is a NIGHTMARE !

    I created an account just for this -> please Microsoft bring back this feature !!!

    Icing on the cake : some softwares that generate only one window in Win10 are now considered as multiple grouped windows (like paint.net) = hell on earth

    Icing on the cake 2 : it is now impossible to drag & drop a file through those grouped icons...
