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.

This needs to be a Windows 11 option. I'm considering uninstalling and reinstalling Windows 10 due to it.

IRKodama you should revert to 10 soon - in 10 days they take that option away from you as well. I waited too long, and am now stuck with 11. After a year, I still hate it - taking away the never combine option has made me miss reminders and meetings in Outlook (the pop-up reminder window is hidden under a group of other Outlook windows), and I'm constantly hunting for the window I want in Excel and other programs. Go back to 10 while you still can!
