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.

I just got a Windows 11 computer, and I deeply regret it. Not having this functionality is very weird, and I don't know why MICROSOFT THINKS I DON'T WANT TO SEE ALL OF MY OPEN TABS. PLEASE ADD IT IMMEDIATELY.

This thread has been open for so long, and the feature STILL isn't present. MS is so bad.

I wonder what 3rd party applications exist to add this since MS dropped the ball on this, and show no signs of walking back their mistake.

  I have been using this Explorer Patcher for several months with no issues. It has restored the old functionality that I (and everyone else on this string) desperately needed.
