combine buttons

About this tag
The combine buttons tag covers discussions about taskbar button combining behavior in Windows, particularly when using multiple monitors. Users report issues where the 'Combine when taskbar is full' setting does not work as expected on secondary displays, with buttons still combining even when the taskbar is not full. This tag includes troubleshooting threads about this feature, which is part of Windows taskbar properties. Topics focus on whether such behavior is a bug or a configuration problem, and users share screenshots and seek solutions for managing taskbar button grouping across extended displays.
