How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
- Jul 30, 2024The 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 reverted to win10 in time and will not install/upgrade to win11 as long as this important functionality is missing.
WillySkjthis isn't obviously the solution... It's not about users who upgraded and a simple downgrade (while they can) can fix their problem. We're here too, who bought a new laptop/desktop that came with Windows 11, and who never had the chance to buy it with Windows 10...
So obviously downgrading isn't the right solution... The solution is to have Microsoft hear our voices...
Personally, I'm mad at them, because I purchased a new laptop to do my job while on vacations, and can't use it the way I'm used to because of this problem... Plus, this issue made me not enjoy my purchase and the money I spent on my new laptop because some a$$holes at M$ don't listen to their customers' voices...
This is ridiculous...
And what's even more ridiculous and insane is that instead of adding new features, they removed some that worked well in Win7, Win10... And they call this progress... How crazy is this?

Since MS wont, someone else did.
I tryed this on a virtual pc and it did work. Dont know what happends after win upgrades, you may have to reinstall it. Read about it and give it a try. I would for sure.- knick95Sep 08, 2022Iron Contributor
I've been using Explorer Patcher since the FIRST day I installed Win 11. The program works fine and is frequently updated. Yes, in case of a major Windows upgrade you have to reinstall it which is very easy to do.
Make no mistake, MS will NOT fix the "never combine" problem. So just install EP and everything will be back to normal. Stop "crying" and make this necessary step ahead
- StevenO59Sep 08, 2022Iron Contributorknick95 the whole point of this forum is to make our voices heard. Your solution may work fine for you, but not for a lot who don't have the permissions to load 3rd party software, or who aren't comfortable with 3rd party software - and MS will never even consider fixing this if people don't express their frustration. While you call it crying, I call it making our voices heard - and the more people who do this, the more likely MS will get off their smug little Apple-wanabe a**s and make this change that people want!
