    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 installed Windows 11. The first thing I did after installing it was go to set up my taskbar the way I need it. The ungroup button wasn't there. After a bit of googling, I found it wasn't supported by Windows 11. 

I immediately went back to Windows 10 and will stay there until I can multitask. 

Could you really imagine someone using the computer with 3 excel docs, VS Code, 5 Chrome tabs, SQL server and a few other apps trying to use a combined taskbar?

I bet none of the devs that built Windows 11 ever had 'combine tasks' enabled.
