    What do you mean by the taskbar being unusable? I used it on my windows 11 laptop way before october 2023.

      Combined icons make the computer unusable for who has multiple windows open from the same application.

      For example if you constantly have to switch between 5 excel files you can’t directly click on which you need

      It’s the reason I can’t stand MacOS at all

        I mean, not defending Win11 here, it has lots of other issues, but I’d just put each excel sheet on a different virtual desktop and switch with the keyboard. Always felt that clicking was a bit inefficient anyway.

        Well, you can’t directly click, but all you need to do is hover for half a second, then click the window you want (which open up above). It’s a non-issue.

        Sure, that’s not ideal, but it’s far from unusable. I’ve used the combined icons since windows 10 wqs released and never had any issues. It works fine for me.

      You still can’t make it narrow or move it to the sides of the screen either. It sucks at work at 1080p because the taskbar takes up half the screen it’s so massive.
