Please fix ASAP

Unable to dock language bar in the taskbar

I just upgraded to Win 11 from Win 10 on my Dell Inspiron 15 notebook through a Win Update prompt.

The language bar automatically appeared in the top right corner - floating. I failed to dock it in the taskbar; on checking in Settings -> Time & Language -> Typing -> Advanced keyboard settings -> Language bar options -> Language bar tab, i found the 'Docked in the taskbar' option grayed out.

Request advise how to make the 'Docked in the taskbar' option available in the Language bar tab of the Language bar options.

Thanks.
