In the latest Win 11 Dev build we finally have the option to "never combine taskbar buttons"!https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-finally-gets-a-never-combine-taskbar-buttons-mode/
The thing I don't like about Start11 is that the buttons are not resized to the width of the labels. This differs from the behaviour in Windows 10 and before.
Now, when you enable Never Combine mode in the Dev build (while disabling Start11), the buttons are finally resized to the width of the labels, just like in all past Windows OSes, like so:
With this option rolling out, I hope you can make the Never Combine mode work like the official one
I think you may be wrong there.
The labels in Windows 10 all maintain a consistent width. The inconsistent width in Win11 is new.
Here for example is a video of Win10 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da4W-bX9hAk
Even Windows XP was the same. All buttons remain the same width.
