Hi @all
I did not find this function 'Never Combine taskbar buttons'. How can this function be found and enabled in windows 11?
I can't work with multi-tab on windows 11.
Thank you!

Hi of course I agree, but in MTC it is primarily user discussions, Microsoft employees also help, but this case is without a solution , because you can not in Windows11 -> restore this function!
To explain this, a response from Microsoft engineers is necessary :)
As far as I know, this rule resulted in the removal of this function:

I am fed up microsoft, please fix this. I reverted back to win 10 in 3 machines for this one single reason.

@hoanglongson In case anyone hasn't noticed "File Explorer" now has tabs available which may help with productivity,
It has improved things for me and as WPS office has tabs things are a bit better for me.
Never combine is still a way better solution as it works with all programs.

They really don't seem to care about power users or productivity. The taskbar was 100% implemented in a "form follows DESIGN" fashion - not even a compromise for productivity (or optional settings to increase productivity).
Hard to believe, but evidently true

Well said! Windows 11 killed my productivity. I really thought the features would at least be available on Win 11 Pro but they stripped that down too. Really not looking forward to doing a downgrade but I think I might have to.

Yeah I'm going back to Windows 10 after months of waiting for this feature. This is nonsensical.

Maybe because Windows11 is definitely cheaper!

@Ken_Hadden :)
Yes, it is obvious that the administrator in the organization blocks changes in the registry that undo the changes after installing Windows11.
The designers, creating the new version of Windows11, also blocked the user and applications from direct and unrestricted access to system tasks -> only for system security reasons, to minimize possible attack and the ability to change attributes!

@Mousefluff Thank you for this. I manually added the keys to the registry and restarted Explorer and it worked.
Interestingly, I rarely get any Outlook meeting notifications as of Windows 11. After this fix, two meeting notifications that were almost two days old randomly popped up. I'm thinking they have been "combined" with the outlook task icon and therefor never show up. Hopefully this is an added benefit for others as well.
As it turns out, like others found out this disables my Start Menu and the ability to open any Explorer windows. I had to install someone else's more complete patch to circumvent these issues. That being said, the outlook meeting notifications is still a major issue with the always combined labels.
If Microsoft is paying any attention, the taskbar issue is the sole reason I have never upgraded at home. As a developer who sometimes has 13 of any given window open at once, it makes it impossible to work and consumes so much extra time trying to find the correct window.
