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.
Unless I 'modify' my system and open it up to destabilization... This has greatly reduced productivity. As a writer, I am greatly dependent on 3 different screens on my desktop with multiple windows open on all three screens. With the taskbar in always combine mode I can no longer easily tell what the windows are at a glance and must either hover the mouse over the combined icon or alt-tab then hover the mouse over the tab to determine what the window is! This is greatly slowing down what I am looking for before I can switch over to that window to continue working... Please, bring back the 'Combine when the taskbar is full' option or the 'never combine' option! Either one would greatly increase my productivity! I'm about ready to revert back to Windows 10 Pro because of how horrible of an upgrade Windows 11 Pro has been on the productivity. This is as if the developers were intentionally trying to sink Windows 11 in the water on release.
