Windows 10: Combine Taskbar Buttons Setting in Win 11

Hi all, since Windows 11 I can't find any setting to not combine windows of the same app into one task icon. Is there any chance to get back the un-grouped behavior without using some 3rd party cracks?For web developing I am often working with multiple windows of the same app and the grouped windows totally kill the workflow if you need to switch between same-app windows often. Thanks!

Combine Taskbar Buttons Win 11

Numerous postings reporting the ability to Combine Taskbar Buttons in Win 11 has been removed either intentionally or by oversight.

Many responses stating that MS is aware and developers are working on a fix to restore this small but (for many) critical capability.

Months have gone by. When is the ETA?

 

Problem with a combine taskbar icons.

Hello,

In Windows 10, you can personalize the settings of your taskbar. If there are multiple applications opened, same applications will be combined under one taskbar button. If you want to change this setting, we suggest that you follow the steps listed below:

• Press the Start button.
• Click on the Settings app.
• Select Personalization.
• At the left side of your window, click on Taskbar.
• Under Combine taskbar buttons, choose Never.

Kindly update us with the results and if you have further queries, feel free to post back.

 

Taskbar buttons combining

Win 10 Pro, v1903.

Related issues have been discussed before but I didn't find a solution to my specific issue:

Combine taskbar buttons is set to never on the Personalization screen.

• Each time I open a new app, a new button appears on the taskbar - Fine!
• Each time I open a new folder, a new button appears on the taskbar - Fine!
• Each time I open a new file (with any app) in that open folder, a new button appears on the taskbar - Fine!
• BUT, if I open a sub-folder in an open folder, the sub-folder button
  REPLACES the button for the parent folder on taskbar- BAD!

How do I make a new button appear for each sub-folder opened without
replacing the parent's button?

Thanks for the help...
