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.

- Another vote for adding the "never combine taskbar buttons" option in windows 11 - I want to uninstall and use windows 10
- 300 replies to this? I would have expected more of an outcry for the return of such an important feature (to me anyway) Maybe we're in the minority and its not important to most users?
- Majority of people doesn't puts effort to configure a productive environment!
- 95% of the users are saying to themselves "This f**ing sucks" but aren't tech aware enough to get on TechCommunity.Microsoft.com - let's be honest, the baseline user just isn't savvy enough or not going to invest the time to go search out where/how to lodge the complaint.
Here is the relevant issue in the feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAeyt69
Be sure to like it and add a comment to let Microsoft know how paramount it is to bring this vital feature back!- done!
- Have you considered using the virtual desktops? Pretty nice to have 5 or so desktops... #1 is all your communication stuff like email, social media etc. #2 is office stuff, #3 is the CAD work... or whatever works for your situation.
You save SO MUCH TIME, not hiding and opening apps.. not bringing background apps to the foreground, not minimizing anything. Just slide from desktop 1 to desktop2 when you change tasks.
If I wanted this "simplicity" I would buy a Mac; it is seriously dumb to have buttons that you don't know what they are.
If you have 6 open excel files you will have to add another step to roll over it to see what's open and then select the right one, it is soooooooooooo unproductive.
huali1405Please re-enable the option to never combine the taskbar labels and also the ability to drag and drop.
- After installing startisback, i started facing many weird issues with Windows:
1. Unable to change default settings of Notepad
2. MyAsus app stops working - pay to fix a problem introduced in Win11 that wasn't a problem in Win10?
You are joking right?
- Just adding my contribution to the need of uncombined Taskbar. I want that back too!!
I will also add that in Windows 7, I always used a registry tweak to resize the taskbar tasks to only see the icons. So I had a NEVER combine tasks and DO NOT SHOW titles. This was the perfection of my taskbar. No combersome large titles tasks, none combined and easy to access instead of this VERY dumb and inconvenient hover-wait-and-click method. I never loved that. What is FeedbackHub and how do we get there? Deleted
- FeedbackHub is a app on your Windows 10 or 11 PC/Tablet/Computer which allows you to report bugs or suggest features on Windows. You may also use the search option in the app to find feature/suggestions other have posted. You can also upvote on those posts as well.
All you need to do is search "feedbackhub" in Windows Search or install it from the MIcrosoft Store 🙂

- One more vote for adding the "never combine taskbar buttons" option in windows 11
- Adding a vote. This feature will prevent me from upgrading. It's a huge productivity loss.
- Just adding one more voice to the crowd. This was such an unproductive move - please bring back this much needed feature.
