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

    Someone who probably does not use Windows in any productive way.

    This needs to be fixed ASAP. It takes away from productivity and makes it harder for those of us who work better when we do not have to 15 clicks to get one thing done.

    Hi, please try it.

    starrt --> run --> gpedit.msc
    User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar

    select "Prevent grouping of taskbar items"

    If you set enable, un group icons on taskbar.

    This action need restart PC or kill/start explorer.exe

    For most of us it is not at all what we want, we want something very simple:

    Un-combine/No Label

    Combine/No Label.

    Many of us do NOT want to uncombine because we are forced into labels we do not want to see at all. Combine or Uncombine should not even be tied to Label in the first place, both options should have their respective "tick".

    Also, different colors for the same app (uncombined) would be really nice to differentiate them.
