How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
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.
Microsoft are AT LAST working on bringing back the never combine option:

Well done everyone for piling on the pressure over the last 504 days, and making this an issue that Microsoft could no longer ignore!

Unfortunately it also says there will still be no titles or labels, just a bunch of the same icons, so we'll still need to hover over each one to see what it is. That's a huge middle finger up to all of us who are asking for functionality back - a kind of 'following the letter of the law but not the spirit'. Ah well.... I'll wait until it's live then come find the feedback thread asking for labels and we can all give feedback for another 500 days until they fix that, as well
- WOW - so Windows 11 can be expected to be in release version the next year?
Yes, as long as "never combine taskbar buttons" is missing I consider Win 11 to be a beta version. Only for test - not for production. So maybe win11 will be ready for production next year?
