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.

- SyswpitBrass ContributorTakes long..! I don't see how people work with this. Just something as simple as Outlooks reminder box will cause Outlooks icon to be combined... and you need an extra click.
- chilinhCopper Contributorplease bring it comback now.
- MrufekCopper ContributorAny news on that Pernille-Eskebo? It's the single most annoying change in Win11

huali1405 Same problem here. Why on earth would anybody think it's better to REMOVE an option? I used to be able to tell at a glance what I had open on Windows 10, now it's a pain to see what's open and what isn't. I'm sure I'll leave something open by mistake, which will be a nuisance as I have networked computers sometimes using the same files. If some people prefer their icons grouped, give us the option to choose! This shouldn't be called an upgrade, it should be called a downgrade.

This is ridiculous. Microsoft, you forced an update on my computer then made a change I have worked to avoid since you first rolled it out without the Never Combine option. This makes the computer less functional for me and was done without my actual consent (adhesion contracts aside). I am NOT pleased.

- nathangriffithsprotempocomBrass ContributorMicrosoft please pull your finger out and re-enable this option in Windows 11, this one issue has made using Windows 11 a pure annoyance and if I had a way back to using Windows 10 I would take it in a heartbeat.

Please bring back never combine option. It's not possible to multitask without this option.
it is as necessary as snow day calcualtor for students who check snowy day to get holidays.
- HroftiCopper ContributorI need it. It is unproductive!
