  You don't have to uninstall Open-Shell Menu to - temporarily - turn it
off.

  You can exit Open-Shell Menu by right-clicking its icon on the Taskbar
and then selecting 'Exit'. It's then gone till you restart/reboot
Windows, because it's configured in the 'Startup apps' part of Task
Manager.

  If you don't want to restart/reboot Windows, you can just execute
"C:\Program Files\Open-Shell\StartMenu.exe", probably easiest from a
Command Prompt window or File Explorer, but you can even do it from the
new-fangled Windows 11 'Start' menu.
