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?

    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.

    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.

    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
