How do i undo the new start menu changes on Windows 11?

For the second time now, a Windows Update has failed to install on my PC, and it seems to have forced the new Start menu changes on my Windows 11 system anyway. How can I undo or revert these Start menu layout changes back to how it looked before the failed updates started occurring?

    You can reset the Start layout to its default state with a PowerShell command.

    If the layout change was due to a Windows update, the best long-term solution is often to wait for the next update or manually reconfigure your Start menu.
