How to let windows 11 "never combine taskbar buttons"?

I'm a software developer, choosing Windows at work. I won't upgrade to Windows 11 if this option is not available because it would reduce my productivity greatly.

Microsoft, it's OK if you want to dumb down your UI for the average/small screen users, but you're turning your geek users away.

i dont understand why they hide apps like that like we are using small screens or a tablet it is 2021 everything is 1080p or 4k resolution or even higher so why is there any need to combine apps like they do is beyond me. never combine like windows xp & 7 is the way forward. combining apps is good for 720p and lower resolutions screens. have an option or addon to download Microsoft

I am about to uninstall Windows 11 because of this. Bring back the option to not combine taskbar windows.

Yes give us back the choice to never combine taskbar icons. just ridiculous and annoying that MS should dictate the terms how you want these.

Yes! I'm having the same problem! It's unproductive!

This is a joke, I want to buy a new laptop and I don’t search anymore for the hardware specs, I think this is awful and unproductive feature that it’s missing. Microsoft UI Designers we are not all using Windows like a Tablet. I am software engineer and with a quick test it will cause me to lose approximately 30’ of my working time every day, think about it. Maybe I will pay to buy Windows 10 again 😉

Also, the drag and drop feature don't work with the new taskbar! Microsoft, WTF is this joke? How can I drag my pictures in Photoshop for example, or in any other app?

Bring it back!

Taskbar and start menu became too simple, not customizable, not usable. The same kind of interface problems happened with windows 8. I thought that it was old story...
