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.
this is the most stupid thing ever done by these imbeciles at MS. what is the point of task bar, if you don't show any tasks??? have your brains got filled with environmental friendly crap instead of actual engineering thinking? thank you for pushing more users to apple.
You nailed it! The taskbar should show all the active tasks (or programs) running, AND show how many of each one. It's much too clumsy and slow to hover over the combine button, wait for it to expand, then click the one you want.
I'm a computer consultant, and I've stopped ordering new computers for all my clients since they stopped offering a Windows 10 downgrade, just because of this taskbar issue. I'll resume once they reinstate the never combine mode.

- it is not so fortunate for people like me who needed new laptop and the only choice is this windows "11". and with the wide spreading of wide screen, the taskbar has only gotten wider which means more items could fit. I wonder what bill gate thinks every time when he has to search for his tabs - maybe he uses apple now!
- I feel your pain. I had to learn how to install a new hard drive a couple months ago when the current one failed. Having never done it, it was a learning and anxiety producing experience. I refused to buy a new laptop because of WIN 11.
So currently this is still not fixed? I was looking for this option today and there's nothing available. I have Windows 11 Home edition upgraded from Windows 10. Seriously...I have been regretting my decision about upgrade every single moment. It's a total disgrace to modify/remove something just for the sake of making "new product".
