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?

    Good day John,

    Thank you so much for the detailed information.

    I was able to sign up for the insider preview dev channel earlier today and didn't get the updates. I tried check for updates now again and below started downloading. I'll provide feedback after install and reboot.

    Regards,

    not a KB

    I assume its this: Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22674.1000.0

    Yesterday the feature was not there after the normal microsoft October update like mentioned above

    this morning I turned on Get the latest updates from as soon as they are available

    I believe the only item that updated was the Windows Feature pack above

    Then to my surprise the uncombine taskbar feature was there.

    Below is copied from my System Control Panel

    Edition Windows 11 Pro

    Version 22H2

    Installed on ‎10/‎9/‎2023

    OS build 22621.2428

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22674.1000.0
