Go to that tutorial, and get the registry patch that will set the ribbon bar to the Windows 11 version.
Something probably glitched, and that registry patch will probably fix it.
If it doesn't fix it, or it doesn't "stay" fixed, then post back here.
The registry patch is just the easiest first thing to try. It will set the registry as it should be, for the Win 11 File Explorer ribbon bar.
Just follow the directions starting with step #3, here...

Now do as @Fabler2 mentioned. Open a command prompt as Admin, and run
sfc /scannowThe reg patch solved the problem. SFC will see if there's an underlying cause.
If SFC doesn't find any problems, then it was probably a one-time glitch.
Windows 11 is still pretty new. It's like a toddler learning to walk. It falls down a lot. :)
