After upgrading STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code to version 3.8.0, the code formatting function is no longer available. Currently, while writing the code and entering ";", the formatting feature is not functioning. When saving the code, the code will not be automatically formatted; both "Format on Save" and "Format On Type" in the settings have been checked.

It seems they've introduced a new setting for the clangd extension that controls formatting. It's disabled by default. After enabling the option, automatic formatting started working again.

That's exactly the case.

It tripped me up too as it wasn't very explicit in the release notes.

Thankfully, I stumbled onto this and updated our project's ".vscode/settings.json" to handle this auto-magically.

Some were complaining about formating being applied ... now you're part of the ones complaining nothing happens anymore :-).
Myself I would recommend you to setup your own formatting. VS Code marketplace is promoting collection of facilities for. Have you got a try about as example of https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xaver.clang-format
