Can't un-combine taskbar items in Windows 11 after latest update

I am limited in my ability to use experimental or preliminary builds or versions of Windows, as such matters are controlled by my organization's system administrator. I am mainly annoyed for the step backwards in user options and functionality and want to see this popular option restored asap in future updates. It sounds like that may be in the works, which is great news.

I recommend mentioning features you want to see brought back in the feedback hub or on these forums. The experimental builds aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Features rolled out in experimental builds regularly come with a set of bugs and other issues. For example, with the same update that added this option it also removed the ability to check for updates in the settings. The only workaround is running a command in command prompt. This is why these features come to experimental builds first, so when they come to main builds, they don't launch broken. My point is your sysadmin has a good reason to keep you away from the insider builds, you'd spend a lot of time fixing all the issues that come with them. I don't believe the feature is mainstream yet, but it's gotten a lot of positive feedback so it most likely will be. I do agree that Windows 11 is a huge step back from 10 in terms of user options, it's been 2 years and they are still working on features that came with Windows 10 at launch.

I'm under the impression the the OP was referring to an insider build (beta'ish tester). I'm unaware if this has gone mainstream yet. But for what it's worth you aren't missing anything because the build that i have, the option doesn't even function. I rather it not be there than be able to see it and it does nothing.

Frankly, if the option/setting is not available to the mainstream users that are utilizing the most recent update vs. beta testers or those using some older version, then the option/setting is generally not available. However, I am glad to hear that it is being tested to be restored right now, and it sounds like it will be part of an imminent update.

Uhhh some folks do have the option as well as myself. However, there is no change to the interface upon switching through the options. I'm understanding you don't have these options but the statements we've made are not incorrect.
