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.
Microsoft suffers from an inherent feeling that Apple are better at user experience than them, and this continually leads them to strive to be evermore like Apple. I don't know where this lack of self confidence comes from but it's a real shame because from a UX perspective Windows used to be so great and now it just isn't. My big gripe with Apple has always been that fundamentally they are arrogant bastards who think they know better than their users. For the sort of users for whom that is correct, then Apple is indeed the way to go. For those of us who know what we're doing, that attitude is total anathema and we want something that puts us in the driving seat.
Microsoft, grow some balls and stop copying Apple. Indeed if you went back to the UI from W95 or WNT, I couldn't be happier.
