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.
I agree, this is insane. I love how in each version, Microsoft makes little changes to force you to work the way they think that you should (rather than letting the customer decide). Searches with fewer options to force you into doing boolean searches (the Windows XP search still finds things better than Windows 11). In Windows 10 it defaulted to grouping taskbar buttons, but if you knew where to look you could un-do it. Of course with this version they now force it on you, because someone at Microsoft decides that you can work more efficiently this way. It is the exact opposite of selling the customer what they want to buy.
