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.

Who are the Microsoft people responsible for this change? I am curious about their reasoning for removing the ability for people to "never combine taskbar buttons" ... were they solely looking to make Windows users less productive (as that is what this change does, it makes users less productive) or what was their goal?

And they probably went through a lot of user testing and misunderstood the results, thinking users who matter won't care.
