You should always have the option to perform a "repair install," provided you haven’t removed the recovery partition. You might even be able to do it using a standard Windows ISO, I believe.
In the meantime... For those open to using the traditional context menu, turn off the "show more options" feature to restore the classic look. This adjustment applies only to Windows 11. Experimenting with right-click actions might reveal performance differences—some users report slower loading times. I found a guide here that doesn’t require a restart. Returning to the standard Windows 11 context menu also works, though the loading wheel appears missing and may take about a second to appear. It’s hard to say for sure. I’m also interested in how other people experience the classic style on their laptops.
