How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
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.
It's a bit offensive that the operating system called Windows makes it so difficult to select the window I'm working on.
- One might even call it 'ironic'.
I'm still of the opinion the root of this is from outsource engineers on single screen 15" laptops and Surface tablets. The vector to merge tablet and PC operation into a single unified OS has resulted in a minimum-common-denominator result. If a tablet can't do it, then nobody can. If a tablet needs combined tabs then the guy sporting two 32" ultra-wide monitors is just sh*t out of luck.
At this rate, by the time Windows12 hits the market we'll all be using a WindowsPhone metaphor on our desktops.- i'm relatively new to these forums. does Microsoft monitor them to see how many are feeling? do they ever reply? with useful information like when this will be fixed?
- The importance of expressing one's discontent under the relevant topic on Feedback Hub app cannot be stressed enough.
- Let's hope that MS doesn't invent an Apple watch clone, or we will all be on that metaphor!
- good comment tlhintoq. it doesn't fully explain though why MS took out code (that was already there!) preventing those of us who want to chose practicality over prettiness to do so. to take the code out, they actually had to work harder than to just leave it in!
