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.

Microsoft, we need the "Never combine taskbar buttons" option returned! Our company recently updated to Windows 11 after waiting almost a year and grouped taskbar buttons in highly inefficient. Instead of an instant single click I now have to hover over the group, scan the group, determine which instance is needed, and select it. Although additional time is minimal, the additional mental energy is infuriating. Previously with ungrouped icons the customer experience was automatic and instantaneous. Now it requires mental effort every time I need to simply go to a different instance of the program. Needless. Pointless. Please put the power to combine taskbar buttons back into the hands of the user. Thank you!
