    You'll need to clean install again it but choose one of the Desktop Experience options. Conversion of core->GUI-core is no longer possible to do.

    Hi, i only able to access the powershell. Do you know a way to reinstall using powershell? My screen look like this. I can't access any application at all. Thank you

    PowerShell is not the correct method. You'll need to boot from the installation media, choosing one of the Desktop Experience options, delete / recreate partition, follow the prompts to complete the install.

    It's the same steps you used to install the core version. You may need to change the boot order in cmos setup to boot from the Server 2022 installation media. The server manual or motherboard manual will have instructions for this step.
