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?

    Hi, I need the exact opposite help. I can combine my taskbar icons but after a while it will uncombine/group them automatically. Why? I turn it on and it automatically turns off

    The version on my laptop is 23H2. I was able to set the "Never" merge taskbar button and hide the label. However, after I reboot the computer or just hibernate it, it automatically sets to "Always merge" again!

    This makes me afraid to upgrade my desktop to Windows 11.

    You have to have version 23H2 to get this option. If you're running a version less than this, the option isn't available at present.

    To check your version, go start > settings > system > about and check here - "windows specifications"

    I have version 22H2 for example and don't have to ability to un-combine the taskbar items yet.
