For others who get upgraded, Windows 11 includes a “Go back” option available for 10 days after the upgrade -- under the system restore options.

That's true. Now I'm here I might as well stick with it. The next Windows 10 update will be the last, so might as well stick with it.

I don't really need a solution to this, but I'm curious if anyone else has run into it?

The cause seems to be that either MS or Desktop central has this update listed as "applicable" to Windows 10, which is not normal for Windows 11 patches.

ManageEngine Desktop Central Unexpected Windows 11 Upgrade

Windows 11 is a major version of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft that was announced on June 24, 2021, and is the successor to Windows 10, which was released in 2015. 

Windows 11 was released to the public on October 5, 2021, as a free upgrade via Windows Update and Windows 11 Installation Assistant on eligible devices running Windows 10.

Windows 11 features major changes to the Windows shell influenced by the canceled Windows 10X, including a redesigned Start menu, the replacement of its "live tiles" with a separate "Widgets" panel on the taskbar, the ability to create tiled sets of windows that can be minimized and restored from the taskbar as a group, Microsoft Teams being integrated into the taskbar, and new gaming technologies inherited from Xbox Series X and Series S such as Auto HDR and DirectStorage on compatible hardware. Internet Explorer (IE) has been replaced by the Blink engine-based Microsoft Edge, while IE's core is retained for Edge's IE mode, and Microsoft Teams is integrated into the Windows shell. Microsoft also announced plans to allow more flexibility in software that can be distributed via Microsoft Store.

Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
