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?

2024-11-13T14:26:05+00:00 that's bad. I just upgraded in Nov 2024 and got this one Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631 so not sure how long I'd have to wait to get that functionality back. BTW how did QA miss this feature? Really hate this feature because when you have many back to back meetings, all notifications keep grouped at the bottom and takes time to dismiss individually.
