Following Brink's instructions, I was able to restore the Win X menu to only the entries I actually use by editing the two WinX folders (in <username> and <Default>), and giving it a trial-and-error go. But the trusty Winaero WinX Menu Editor didn't work, even after I used it to restore defaults (the update had already restored all of the defaults) and then removed all of the things I don't want in that menu and added the two things I do want that are not in the defaults, and restarted Explorer.
Anybody else having this difficulty? (The app hasn't been updated in four years, so far as I can tell, so It's not surprising that it might have problems coping with both W11 and new versions.) Just trying to confirm that my experience isn't unique.
