Windows 11 taskbar labels
It looks like the perfect way - but it doesn't work here. I set the value to 2 and after restart and then checking it was set to 2 - but still no labels. Do you have any ideas? aBuntobox
Agreed. Please vote on this issue in Microsoft's "Feedback Hub" app. Search for "Never combine" and then upvote/comment there since that is their official channel for feedback on features, suggestions and bugs.

The only thing I have done aside from alter that registry key is select small taskbar icons, reduced the size of my taskbar and opened a QuickLauch toolbar. Here's a screenshot of it:
Could you please tell how you "reduce size of taskbar"?
You'll find out how to do it here:

There is no QLA in the RTM release of Windows 11. I uninstalled W11 because of loss of the QLA, context menu and right-click on Taskbar to find so much less than W10.
Terrible first impression of W11. C'mon devs! Put the Taskbar and Start Menu back to Windows 10 features and options. I have voted up in Feedback the need for labels and to "not combine" the icons.
