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?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    It is ridiculous now... so many months later and a feature that DID exist is now broken...

    follow-up question. You can make it never combine, but it hides the extras when you have too many open, which isn't really very many. Why can't you remove labels until you hover & make the tabs smaller so they fit better?

    Hello,

    Yep, never combine option available to everyone starting with Windows 11 version 22H2 KB5030310 Build 22621.2361.

    I have had non combine in edge, public version windows 11 since I bought it. I've used combine never and combine always switching between the two. Until now. I switched to always and could not switch back. The command options are there. I switched back to never, it just wouldn't stop combining.

    With windows 11 update, the taskbar still collapses even after I selected Never and I don't like that I can't enlarge the taskbar like before. Can this be fixed?
