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.

I just received an update and am now running Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.2115). Under Personalization/Taskbar, Taskbar behaviors now looks like this:

I changed the relevant settings from "Never" to "When taskbar is full". However, I still have combined taskbar buttons. I have not tried another restart yet, but just changing the settings has done nothing. It's hard to imagine how anyone ever thought removing this functionality was a good idea.

At first blush, it sounded encouraging, but the reality does not appear to match the expectations. Thank you for your courage to try!
