You can view a presentation of the feature at Microsoft Build 2023 at time index 29:20. The new feature can be accessed via the Windows settings: Personalization -> Taskbar -> Combine Taskbar buttons and hide labels -> Never It might be a good idea to wait at least 48 hours before installing it, to make sure no fatal bugs are discovered or that the update gets revoked. I would strongly recommend checking the "Known issues in this update" section. ![]() Please make sure that you read the available information for that particular update KB5032190 on the Microsoft Support Site, here you can also read about all the other changes the update will bring. If you don't get the update automatically, you can download it here via the Microsoft Update-Katalog. The feature has been finally included in the latest Windows Update KB5032190 (as of Nov 14, 2023). So for now, since you need 3rd Party software anyway, I would recommend installing valinet/ExplorerPatcher from GitHub it basically creates the same outcome (Taskbar changes to Windows 10) but you'll keep the Windows 11 Start button as well as the Windows key functions like Win+V, etc. Same for the Windows key functions like (win+v or win+shift+s) but everything else works without third Party tools.Ĭonclusion so far: Although this is a potential way to ungroup the taskbar without 3rd Party software in the future, it does not quite work yet (at least I couldn't get it to work). Note: I still haven't found a way to get the Start button back without third Party tools. I'm still waiting for a better solution, so I didn't accept this as an answer. Note: this disables the new Win11 design/functionality for the taskbar and the Start button. Sign out and back on (restarting explorer is not enough) Note: this will enable/disable the search icon next to the Start button (which doesn't work with UndockingDisabled anyway). ![]() Optional: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search and create new 32bit Dword Value, name it SearchboxTaskbarMode give it the value 0. Note: this will disable grouping of task icons Create new 32bit Dword Value, name it NoTaskGrouping give it the value 1. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies and create new key: Explorer. ![]() In addition to the clock you will be able to add individual items like sound control etc.: To get the clock back use the Control Panel Applet for the notification area by opening explorer shell::: via cmd and enable the system icons in the option Turn system icons on or off. You can also use third-party tools to get function like win+v (clipboard manager) or win+shift+s (taking screenshots). Alternatively, you can switch to Windows 10 Start button, but I couldn't get this to work. Open-Shell will get you a start button (open-shell will reinstate the classic Start button as used in Win7 and earlier). In addition to that, it seems to make logon/logoff significantly longer and Windows key functions like (win+v or win+shift+s) will stop working. Important!!! Please note: this will reset the taskbar to "classic style" and unfortunately it also disables the Start button and disables the taskbar clock. Go to: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell\Update\Packages and create new 32bit Dword Value, name it UndockingDisabled give it the value 1. Note: The function for the taskbar is called "never combine mode" by Microsoft and lets you see each window of your applications on the taskbar individually instead of grouping them all into one icon.įor the time being, I found a registry hack, hopefully this will be included as a setting in one of the future updates: Note: I found a similar question by now (different wording that's why I didn't find them in my first searches), but the only solution there doesn't work either: see this question here. ![]() Note: There are a few other 3rd party products to tweak the taskbar, but none of them can ungroup items in the taskbar: Start11, Open-Shell-Menu or StartAllBack (as far as I tried) Note: There is no "regular" setting to do this in Windows 11, a request has already been added to the Microsoft Feedback Hub sometime last year (mid-2021), e.g. Is there a way to ungroup the taskbar item in Windows 11?Īfter doing some research so far I only found a third-party software option using valinet/ExplorerPatcher from GitHub which works but it changes many other things as well "back to Win 10 style".
