    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.

22H2 - 22621.2361 build has the option now.

    No, it's not. I have Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 OS Build 22621.2428 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22674.1000.0 on an Asus VivoBook that I got in late 2019 and THERE IS STILL NO NEVER COMBINE TASKBAR BUTTONS option. It's not there. This is why I don't upgrade any of my other machines and I don't let any of my clients, friends, or family do it, either. The OS is, for me, nearly UNUSABLE without NEVER COMBINE TASKBAR BUTTONS and I don't want to install 3rd party programs on this particular machine. I already have SylphyHorn on my power w10 machine, because Microsoft still doesn't do the desktop switching task well. If someone tells you otherwise, challenge them for version info, etc.

      Jim_T1405  It should be there in the drop down when you click on Taskbar Behaviors, the last setting shown after you right click taskbar and select settings.

      Why are you providing false Information?

      Have you ever been to Europe?

      Yes! But I recently got the 22H2 update preview, so hopefully it will come soon. Do you have a source describing in more detail what the issue is with Europe?
