Unable to add icon to the taskbar in Windows 11

[raindropsfromsky]

I am using Windows 11 on my Acer Aspire Lite AL15-52 laptop.

I have created the groups, as shown in the screenshot below.

But when I click on the first group in the blank area (shown with red rectangle), it opens my onedrive folder rather than the shortcuts list.

As a result, I am unable to follow the 3-step instructions given in the left panel of the UI.

Click on a group to add.

When the folder opens:
1. Right click on the shortcut named as your new group
2. Click on "Pin to taskbar"
3. Enjoy your new Taskbar group
