Change affected a "small subset" of users and has (thankfully) been reverted.

Sharing here because of the post from 14 hours ago.

In my case, I thought I could survive a few weeks on a Surface with a fresh Windows install because I’d been planning to sell it. Now that it’s turning into my daily driver with no real end in sight (and with all my thumb drives packed away), I have Yet Another Flash Drive™ arriving this evening so I can go back to KDE precisely because of this sort of bullshit.

Can we get back the ability to not combine tasks?

My recollection is that a recent update to Win11 brought back that option.

Cool, cool, cool. My IT department never updates Windows.

I don’t see why you would, but you can with ExplorerPatcher.

Obviously not an analyst.

I’m not sure why it’s ever a good idea to remove features with “upgrades”.

Because it might be too much legacy cruft to maintain?

There’s been lots of complaints on the Microsoft forums and it was replied that they’d add it back in a future update. Meanwhile I’m trying to get IT to downgrade my laptop to windows 10.

Ask if they’ll let you install ExplorerPatcher in the meantime.
