Here's some AHK code to do what you want.  I've successfully tested this on Windows 7 so please let us know if it works on your Windows 10 machine.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #k:: ; Win+K -- change as necessary
2. {
3.     ; 0 = Always combine, hide labels
4.     ; 1 = Combine when taskbar is full
5.     ; 2 = Never combine
6.     RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced, TaskbarGlomLevel, % ( ( Toggle ) ? ( "0" ) : ( "2" ) )  
7.     SendMessage, 0x1A, , , ,  % "ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd" ; WM_SETTINGCHANGE := 0x1A
8.     WinSet, Redraw, , % "ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd"
9.     Toggle := !Toggle
10. }
11. Return
