Windows 10: Labels on taskbar

I understand Microsoft for Windows 11 has brought back a feature to "never combine" or "combine only when the taskbar is full. I found this article. https://pureinfotech.com/show-taskbar-labels-never-combine-windows-11/ I don't have the feature. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I open many browsers that I leave up, and the process is maddening & slow.

How to make taskbar labels wider?

I always have labels showing in my taskbar so I can see exactly what I have open with the titles of each spreadsheet for example listed in my taskbar rather than hidden behind an icon.

However it is frustrating how narrow the labels are because the titles are always cut off. This is more of a problem when document have log prefix's.

Does anyone know if this can be edited at all? I know that it can't be edited just using settings.

 

Taskbar became"bad"

We suggest that you follow the instructions below:

• Right-click on the Taskbar, then select Settings.
• Under Taskbar, Scroll down and look for Combine taskbar buttons.
  
• Click on the drop-down arrow, then select Always, hide labels.

Let us know if this works for you.
