    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...

    :)

    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.

    Stop Taskbar Buttons from Combining!

    I noticed that on my Windows 10 laptop, my taskbar buttons combine even though I have the setting for "never combine."

    I changed the settings to "always combine" and then back to "never combine" and it still didn't work. I also did the same for "combine when taskbar is full" and it didn't work.

    Does anyone know about this quirk and ho to fix it????

    Thank you!
