This has been working for me for a while now, I am now on version (from System Information) 10.0.26100 Build 26100 and it has been working since upgrading to 22H2 which was released on 09-2022.

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

2025-02-27T03:51:55+00:00 It's 2025 and the option is still greyed out.
I do not understand why Microsoft decided it was a good idea to limit the functionality of the taskbar in Windows 11.
If it ain't broke, then leave it the f alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem is really annoying and counter-productive!
Any 3rd-party software that fixes this simple thing that Microsoft is unable to fix in 2 years now???
