Clearly they are cotroled by opposite kernel policies, so there is little we can do, I think So solution 1 switch, when you need the store, not a biggie (you need just to insert the serials once the the initial work is done) Solution 2 forget about cortana and use agent ransack and classic shell, which iswhat I do personally, no matter if on server or clients, they are just better for usability and privacy reasons.
Ok, i had to do an in place upgrade of my server 2022 for other reasons. So I took the occasion to "upgrade" to 20348.1 (I was in 20348.469) and know what? The problem is not there!!! In short it's a MS fault/regression, not something I missed. That explains also why I never faced this problem in something like 7 years...
In place upgrades are downgrades "by design" since the day online updates exist. ISO is the past, actual installation is the future, unless you slipstream the ISO 5 minutes before the installation ISO is older than the installed system. How it could be differently? The news here is that although I had a newer iso than .1 (but older than .469) i decided to go with .1 just to try kill two birds with one stone (or to capture two pigeons with a fava bean,as we say here)

What are the downsides to using this as my Main OS switching from Windows 11 Education? I want a less-bloat Windows 11. I'll be installing this on a Laptop.
There are no downsides except some bluetooth functions And the blocked installation of some drivers or sw. A problem I already fixed.
You need quite some changes to get it into proper desktop mode without all server stuff. Better pick normal Windows and strip out there what you don't need.
There is no "server stuff" until you explicitly enable them. Unlike client everything is optional and (except defender) not installed at all. There are few settings that differs from clients, all minor things that require like 15 minutes to be set like on client
