The Hard Way.
Restart in Recovery Mode and choose Reinstall macOS.
This in theory will pull the latest version of Monterey available and commence the installation.

From your above description, it looks like an Apple Silicon Computer ?
On a Mac with Apple silicon
Find out if you have a Mac with Apple silicon
Maybe the keyboard is broken and it thinks the key is being held down.
It automatically puts me into startup options whether I want it to or not. And yes its a silicon.
Maybe but I checked the key and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. Also wouldn't it shutdown my PC on the times it worked.
Normally, it will startup in this mode IF you HOLD the Touch ID / Power Button for a long time or continually
A single press will normally only startup in Normal Mode
Yeah but it still opens in that mode without me even touching the computer
I think I need to update the OS but I can't do that from startup options. Anyone know how?
Any resolution to this? I'm still experiencing the issue...
