My system just did the lastest windows 11 update and all my tasbar items have been combined. When I go into taskbar behaviours to uncheck the option, the option does not exist? I tried searching settings and nothing appears. What can I do?

    It's a staggered rollout, so you should eventually get it soon.

    The Never Combine taskbar feature is rolling to everyone now in Windows 11.

    Thank you for this info. I successfully installed the update, restarted, and am now on build 22621.2361. Unfortunately, I still do not have the "Combine Taskbar buttons and hide labels" drop down in the Taskbar Behaviors section of the Taskbar Personalization settings window. Any clue on what I can do to surface it?

    This has unfortunately been the same answer for 2 years now. They aren't listening to user feedback. At. All.

    I agree with Enterprise Worker, it was a mistake for my company to force Windows upgrades on us because of the lost productivity. Microsoft, when are you going to get this resolved?
