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.

Happily someone made an awesome work and created a simple and effective dll to handle all the missing customizations from the taskbar and right click menu on folders and files.

Now to fix the start menu 🙂
- I really wonder what they are thinking about while they removing this feature
Microsoft please bring back ability to turn off windows grouping. I cant live without this option.
Also please bring back option of choosing taskbar placement. Since there's already option of choosing Strat menu/icons placement why not let people choose where taskbar is displayed as well? I use top screen taskbar placement for more than 5 years on every desktop I own.Microsoft, we believe in you 🙂
Now the OS is released and this functionality has still not been returned to us it's clear to me it never will be.
I'm going back to Windows 10 because I'm fed up of this issue being ignored.
- Need to bring this feature back. Extremely unproductive.
- Upgraded Windows 10 to 11, after first start didn't find the option, discovered it wasn't there in the first place, rolled-back to Windows 10. Am sure they programmed Windows 11 on Windows 10 just for the never combine. What a lack of productivity really. Please bring it back. Anyway, am happy i didn't delete the old windows folder after upgrading to 11...
- Can we have this feature back please? For someone who works on a lot of files in multiple monitors it was a very good feature.
Or at least tell us how much time you need for that. - I don't mind new 'features' but changing things for the sake of changing them and not giving users an choice for something so radical is absurd. You'd think they would learn that user don't want that by now. Sticking with 10...
Not having this feature is a real dealbreaker for me. I can live with many of these changes and some of them are really good tbh, but because of this i am strongly considering installing Win10 again.
- Since when Microsoft cares about the users?! Look who's presenting their products... look at their employees... Nobody reads these comments and nobody give a **bleep** about user experience, it's all about MAKING MORE MONEY and FORCING people to upgrade and then face problems, always been the case and it will stay the same. Hence, you should all switch to APPLE / macOS and enjoy life for a bit.
