Windows 10: Can't click on volume, wifi, battery, or language in taskbar [Windows 11]

I've been having an issue ever since I installed Windows 11 and I hoped it would get fixed in an update but I have had no luck yet. Basically, the group of icons on the right side of the taskbar internet, volume, and battery don't respond properly. The image below shows for maybe half a second before suddenly disappearing and I can't interact with it at all. The image following that is for when I have no current audio stream. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, please tell me how you fixed it! I've been putting up with it for a bit over a month now.

How to ungroup WiFi, Sound, Battery Charging taskbar icons in Win 11?






Find it very annoying that these 3 icons are GROUPED together instead of being individual icons that I can configure like in win10. How do I revert the behavior?

Also, I noticed quick access shortcuts in Win Explorer is removed in W11. How do I restore that too please?

Thank you.

 

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.
