My system just did the lastest windows 11 update and all my tasbar items have been combined. When I go into taskbar behaviours to uncheck the option, the option does not exist? I tried searching settings and nothing appears. What can I do?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Not working on 22621.2428 for some reason... and I'm not in insider program. Probably that's why it isn't working. But I want to be only on stable, not on some experimental versions because I'm using my laptop for work.

    Microsoft, why would you A/B test such a mandatory feature as grouping of taskbar icons that you had from Win95?

    Makes no sense.

    edit: 20 min later, I checked the update windows. New update was avilable. I did it and now the options are there! Have no idea what's happening 🤷‍♂️😒
