Dear B Mooney
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.
Before we proceed may I know what version of PowerPoint you're currently using, because I tested it on my PowerPoint desktop app and was able to group and ungroup perfectly using this bar
Please refer to Group or ungroup shapes, pictures, or other objects - Microsoft Support - for detailed information on grouping and ungrouping in PowerPoint
Please give it a try and let me know your update. If the issue still persists, please provide a details screenshot of the issue and make sure that you hide all your personal information
If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask

A couple things to add to Jess-Q's reply:
Have you selected something (ie clicked on it)? You can't ungroup until you've selected something TO ungroup.
If you've selected something, are you sure it's a group? You can't ungroup what isn't grouped in the first place.
Your operating system is relevant, but you didn't include that info when you posted. PowerPoint for Windows? Mac? Running in a browser? on a mobile device?
