How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
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.

Just tried https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/blob/master/README.md
It worked — finally, I have the taskbar on the left side of the screen without combined buttons %)
I found that link in the discussion, but somewhy that's not the "Best response"! Please, like my comment or one of the previous ones with the link — let's show people how they can change things to the better! 🙂

I'm glad that you were able to get a work-around for the grouped taskbar windows. I still have no desire to upgrade to Win 11 while I'm on my current computer. However, if I need to purchase a new computer, it is good to know there is a workable patch to install. As all of us have noted on this site, the Windows 11 grouped taskbar icons is frustrating. Actually, since I'm not longer working (retired), I'm considering what it would mean to use Chrome OS on a regular basis. The problem is that I'm still very old fashioned when it comes to saving items. I like to save on my computer's hard drive instead of somewhere in the cloud. Thank you for the tip.
