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've been following this thread since Dec 2021 and I finally see the option now. It seems to be different for everybody when you receive whatever update fixes it. For me it looks like it came with https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/november-14-2023-kb5032190-os-builds-22621-2715-and-22631-2715-f9e3e13c-5e98-42c2-add8-f075841ca812 on Nov 14. It says " New! This update adds “never combined” mode. In this mode, you can view application windows and their labels on the taskbar separately. To find this feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors.Set Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels to Never.

I appreciate your post, but I'm still not willing to download Win11. I hope it improves, but as long as Win 10 is supported, I can't see any reason to go through the agony of trying to find where MS has hidden the common elements of the OS.
CassRT I agree totally, MS do it every time, they never consider the productivity loss of having to learn where they have hidden some settings this time. As an example, I like many people use an open source DNS and every incarnation has a different way of locating the settings.
MS The Multiple Sclerosis of operating systems.
I keep telling myself I need to invest the time into setting up one PC on Linux to see if I should just move on.
