    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.

When I found out that they removed the setting, I just thought it was a joke. Now I need to pay to get a third party developer to fix this - see https://www.startallback.com/

schneida you can use this -> https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher for free. Does a lot of stuff with windows 11 customisation and works fine.
