Normally, Grub, the Linux boot manager, puts an option for Win 11 so during boot you can choose what OS to boot from.
Under Linux open a CMD window and type:
Sudo update-grub

I have Lubuntu and Win 11 on different drives and they are independent and I use the boot menu to choose witch one I want to use. Windows is the first on the priority OS list under BIOS boot options.

I suggest you select your priority OS to boot from on BIOS and use the boot menu to boot the other OS

Optionally you can configure grub to always show the boot menu and with a predetermined time limit such as 10 seconds before it chooses the default boot entry.
