    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.

Hi huali1405 

https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/07/28/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22621-440-and-22622-440/

 

I have good information The Microsoft team is working on improving the taskbar in the Insider Program, this is an excerpt from the published Blog:

"

Taskbar Overflow
We’re reintroducing taskbar overflow, with a newly designed experience for Windows 11. This taskbar experience has been thoughtfully crafted to offer you a more productive switching and launching experience when space is constrained. Your taskbar will automatically transition into this new overflow state when it has hit its maximum capacity. In this state, taskbar will offer an entry point to an overflow menu that allows you to view all your overflowed apps in one space. "

This is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time!!!!! This does absolutely nothing to address the 36 PAGES of complaints! I don't see a feasible way to fill the taskbar in its current useless state so this solves a problem that will never occur! Get your resources back to reinstating the Never Combine Taskbar option! Talk to anyone who actually does work on their computer and they can quite quickly explain to you how the new taskbar in counter productive and extremely hard to work with!

    Hi MNNick183 

    "This is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time!!!!!"

    Perhaps!

    But it looks like there won't be any major improvements in this regard!

    Previously, there were no ideas for any change, so the community should be informed.

      I agree, I'm just frustrated because this significantly impacts my productivity.
