How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?
- Jul 30, 2024The 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.

demeritcowboy And yet you STILL can't have small taskbar buttons or other productivity features that were part of Windows 10. Microsoft: The Go Backwards Company.

Yeah, this is really pathetic. It's taken Microsoft YEARS to address this, and they STILL didn't include the smaller taskbar buttons. I'm not migrating to an OS that insists on doubling the amount of space it wastes on my screen. Not to mention all the other glaring problems in 11.
Oh well, just another example of Microsoft absolutely fumbling every alternating Windows release. Hopefully 12 will be more sane. If not, then hopefully Linux gaming actually becomes reasonable before they EOL windows 10.

Number of taskbar buttons is limited (not autosized as in win10) so the rest is hidden behind a 3 dotted mark you must klick on to view windows above of the rest of open applications. Free teams working in win10 is not working in win11. So - still stick to win10. Upgraded to Win11 at home because of bigger monitor (43") an use of google meet.

I already said this once here, but since everyone is annoyed by the taskbar situation, "startallback" software is the perfect solution that worked for me. It lets me use Windows 11 absolutely like Windows 10 (right-click included). At least personally, using another software to get what Microsoft denies me doesn't create any problems.
Fate vobis.
