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

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.

    This build of the Windows 11 is still under testing and evaluation and you may share this as a feedback in the Feedback Hub app.

    For me, it's acceptable while win11 is slower than win10. But it's hard to accept for no feature "never combine taskbar buttons". I can't work with multi-tab Excel and Word. Should I go back to Win10?

      I would always expect a newer OS to run slower on the same old hardware. I don't have a problem with that. That's the cost we've always paid for major upgrades. But I do have a problem with Microsoft disabling a setting which is not a "feature", but an expected configuration. Give it back!

      My laptop is new and seems to be nice (i7-8550U - 16G), I have been installing the insider version of Windows 11 for a few days, but I also feel that win 11 is (significantly) slower than 10.

      Ha_SonHow is Windows 11 slower than 10? I have actually noticed a performance boost and snappier response over Windows 10. Heck, it even boots faster. Instead of 20 second boot I am dang near 10 second from post to seeing desktop.

        Maybe my laptop is old (I5 7200U and 8 GB ram). Otherwise, it's really slower than Win10. I know I can't require more in the testing version, so it's ok. But I really need the "not combining" feature 😞
