I accidentally ended up with a headless (no GUI) Windows Server installation and now I'm stuck in a loop where it keeps asking for the installation. I'm hoping to go back to my usual home desktop setup without having to dive deeper into Windows Server, which I'm not familiar with. Is there a way to undo this without completely reinstalling the OS?

If your drive wasn't wiped during the setup and you didn’t delete the content through BIOS, your original OS might still be there. Try removing the USB drive with the installation media and rebooting your system to see if it can boot back into your previous OS.
The problem is that even without the USB drive, I end up in the installation loop. I know my Windows 11 is still on the disk and functional, but this headless server installation put me in a bind. I just want to find a way to escape this mess. Any suggestions?
