Windows 11 No Go Back button

Hello, I downloaded Windows 11 and it has made my computer very buggy, especially with photoshop. After less than 5 days of having Windows 11, the option to Go back from System > Recovery is completely gone. 

It's not grayed out like it would be if it had been more than 10 days. Additionally, when I try to use the method to uninstall latest feature update it refuses to work and gives me an error message.

 Finally after trying to reset my whole PC twice, there was no improvement to the system whatsoever. If anyone has a fix that would be greatly appreciated.

    If you've upgraded to Windows 11 and are experiencing issues with performance and functionality (like with Photoshop), you can normally roll back to your previous version of Windows (Windows 10) within 10 days of the upgrade using the "Go back" option in the Recovery settings.

    For applications like Photoshop, ensure that you are using the latest version compatible with Windows 11. Software developers often release updates to address issues in new operating systems.

    The "Go back" option in Windows is only available for 10 days after the upgrade. If it's been more than 10 days since you installed Windows 11, this option will no longer be available.

    This is one of the main reasons I continue to use Chrome instead of Edge. Microsoft has legions of middle managers who want to make their mark by adding new functionality at the expense of older, often far more basic functionality, so they are prone to shove critical function into the background to make room for their most recent hobby horse. And it's not just Edge. The same infuriating nonsense happens in all Microsoft products. The context menu is a good example. They keep filling it with marginal functionality and making it harder and harder to reach vital context options. There's usually (not always) a fix, but it involves some time-consuming research and then deconstruction of the bloat before you can restore the useful stuff.
