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 really feel the need to add to the 1,192 Replies in this thread to emphasize the incredible degradation of the taskbar in Windows 11.
Features like: 'never combine items', 'always show all icons in notification area', 'task bar covers multiple rows', 'possibility for custom quick launch' etc. is possible in the add-on ExplorerPatcher, but this week it conflicted with the latest Windows Update and bricked my system by crashing explorer.exe in a loop. Its just a risk i can't take again on a corporate PC.
While i understand not everyone is a power user with 30+ windows open ( hi mom & pop) and the desire to reduce the world to a sleek silver button trumps all, it is completely beyond me that there is no way to customize these functionalities.
Hoping for better in Windows 12.
Windows 12 is not even completed yet and the make of windows 12 needs more work than windows 11.
so i kindly request you to wait for windows 12 because windows 12 needs a lot of user's input, suggestions and feedback.
Just imagine one thing like windows 11 and millions of errors again and again in windows 12 and future versions which i do not think we can accept.
Please kindly accept our apologies and wait for a new update and till that time please wait for the new update in the month of September which will bring back many options.
Keep the faith.
Thank you.
