Stardock Forums
Any chance you could add option to never combine taskbar buttons and/or when taskbar full? For some reason wise people at Micro$oft decided we only need these tiny little buttons that look barely any bigger than tray icons on ultra wide monitors...
Latest Win11 update killed it for me, but just needed to upgrade to the latest ExplorerPatcher version, which is now packaged as an executable so even easier
Please add the Taskbar Not Combined features. It really really is frustrating this product doesn't already have it. Adding a network/google drive sync for the layout as well as allowing more devices would really make it stand out.
Add me to this list too, really need the Never Combine icons feature for the taskbar, really killing productivity for me and waiting on Stardock to release the feature.
One more vote for the Never Combine taskbar icons option. Though I'll go one farther and also request the option to Combine Taskbar Buttons When Taskbar Is Full, as it is in previous Windows versions (which has three options: Always Combine, Combine When Taskbar Is Full, and Never Combine).
One more here! Only great missing thing is Never Combine option. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase!!

The taskbar functionality of StartAllBack is excellent, and although I prefer Stardock's Start-menu options, the taskbar is even more important to me than the start button is, and so I'm switching back to StartAllBack until Stardock can support un-grouped / never combine taskbar buttons with text labels.
Not really though. All startallback does is hack the system registry to trick Windows 11 into downloading Windows 10's taskbar. This is also what explorerpatcher does, but at least explorerpatcher owns up to what it does. Unlike those two programs, start 11 will actually BUILD a taskbar rather then HACK one. It takes more time to do that. Start 11 runs circles around startallback, a lot more work is done on this program and it shows.
I was speaking from my perspective as a user, not from any architectural perspective.
I want to use Start11, but the taskbar is a deal-breaker for me as it stands now - regardless of how the different applications do what they do.
Then why not use explorerpatcher while you wait? It is actually 100 percent compatible with start 11 so you can still use the superior start menu
Has this been implemented? This is the one thing holding me back from purchasing. I hate the combine items on taskbar and would love to get the option "never combine" back. Please let me know and if it's here, I'll buy immediately.
Something that exists and works now runs circles around better technologies that do not exist yet.
All I can say is 'soon' and perhaps look here https://twitter.com/bdsams
Is that a QA I am seeing being done by Brad. It looks promising 
At last! I really hope that your taskbar will also support drag & drop functionality, cause this is one of the CRUCIAL features for productivity, screw MS management which thinks that people nowadays only use PCs for Twitter posts and nothing else. The whole decision to strip taskbar of any meaningful productivity functionality it always had was stupid, but it seems that the whole Microsoft corporation doesn't use PCs anymore - only Macs 
Cause if you do the WORK on PC - it is pretty obvious that the "new" taskbar is antiproductive. Rant over
Hooray, I guess, for those who use Insider builds, which is like, I dunno, 0,00000000000000000001% of all Windows users 
Which means that it will come to the other 99,99999999999999999999 % of all Windows users also?
Correct, but in the Fall, which is half a year from now

It will be out on the Beta channel next month sometime. That one is a bit easier to get on your pc.
Why anybody would like to be a free beta tester is beyond me, but lots of people are PAYING to be a beta (or sometimes even alpha) testers in "Early Access" games, so what do I know?

In fact I didn't know that Stardock has invented paid betas - how?
Early access beta's was made popular by steam. There actually is a lot of good games out there that otherwise would have never been developed. This is because it was crucial for the beta testing to fund the game development.
By paying for Beta testing you become an investor. Usually this means that you help shape the product with your feedback. Take start 11 for example, before it was released it was in Beta as a paid product. But, user's comment's and suggestions are really what helped shape its final design. The same could be said for Windows 11 beta program. Feedback helps shape the product. Some people enjoy being a part of that process and therefore invests in the product.
With drag and drop features or never combined tabs in start 11. That will also need to go through a beta testing phase with people that are willing to be early adopters. It won't go straight to release just as Windows 11 new build will not.
Any idea when never combine apps will be available, really need this feature.
