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.

- it's just unbelievable how Microsoft likes to bring more and more $#IT each time making things more "simple" but harder to work with, just unbelievable ((((
- We need "Never combine taskbar buttons" back right now. we can't work in windows without that option and if you won't resolve this problem we had to get back to windows 10.
huali1405 I think we need to upvote it on Feedback hub for quickly bring it back.
- How do you upvote in Feedback hub? Where is Feedback hub?
- 1. Click to Windows icon, then search "Feedback Hub"
2. Search "Never combine" on feedback hub, you will see it.
3. Upvote it.
Combined taskbar buttons are a real productivity drain. What was once a single click is now 3 steps - hover over the taskbar button, move the mouse pointer to window you want, then click it. If you switch between apps hundreds of times as day, all these extra clicks add up.
- another stupid design claimed as minimalist
- we are now living in the world where removing useful features is regarded as minimalism
- MICROSOFT PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE. Tremendous step backwards and loss of productivity without the ability to turn the Combine off. Considering reverting to Windows 10.
- I could not find a method, plus the update did not allow me to connect to my network connections anymore.
Thus went back to Win 10 via recovery.
I think I will wait till the bugs n such have been sorted before upgrading to Win 11. 😏 - Yes. to increase productivity for users who do multi tasking COMBINE WHEN FULL should be an option in TASKBAR.
- Microsoft, please listen. We need "Never combine taskbar buttons" back right now. It hurts productivity so much that I need to downgrade back to Windows 10 because of this.
