    Thank you for the screenshot, you do have the new Windows 11 Start Menu, but it seems to be corrupt.

    The best option is to open the Settings App.

    Go to System - Recovery.

    Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Update' section, then wait for that process to complete, that process will fix any corruption in Windows 11.

    If your Start menu does not look like this menu, please provide a screenshot of your Start Menu, you may still have the old Windows 11 Start Menu, not the new version that was released recently.
