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.
The feature you describe sounds very much like what is available with Windows 10. Is this feature no available to regular users with the Windows 11 update now? I am reluctant to download Windows 11 because it was so horrible the first time I tried it 2 years ago.
OOps! Did not mean "no available." I mean NOW available!
- No, it's not. I have Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 OS Build 22621.2428 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22674.1000.0 on an Asus VivoBook that I got in late 2019 and THERE IS STILL NO NEVER COMBINE TASKBAR BUTTONS option. It's not there. This is why I don't upgrade any of my other machines and I don't let any of my clients, friends, or family do it, either. The OS is, for me, nearly UNUSABLE without NEVER COMBINE TASKBAR BUTTONS and I don't want to install 3rd party programs on this particular machine. I already have SylphyHorn on my power w10 machine, because Microsoft still doesn't do the desktop switching task well. If someone tells you otherwise, challenge them for version infor, etc.
Are you sure you have configured this setting - this is important:
