Workaround for the IOS 26 issue when Action Button options disappear?

Has anyone found a successful workaround for the IOS 26 issue when Action Button options disappear, especially Silent mode? I had changed my Action Button from Silent to another option on my 17 Pro, and now Silent is no longer among those available to select, as well as a few others. Also the Silent option is no longer in Control Center or in any Control Center options to add. Nor is it available in the Shortcuts app. I saw that this is a randomly occurring issue that Apple was aware of and was working on, but that post was from September. I am currently on 26.2 and it has still not been corrected as far as I can tell.

I do remember someone posting here a few months ago, but there have been virtually no new posts since, which indicates this is not an issue affecting many users at all.

Things I'd try:

1. You mention iOS 26. Have you updated to the most current iOS 26.2? If no, do so.
2. Force Restart your iPhone --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
3. Reset All Settings --> Reset iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support (NOTE: Make sure you know the passwords to Wifi networks, etc, before you do this as you'll be required to enter them again as well as go through the various settings you had and set them again)
4. And if those options don't work, restore your iPhone, preferably using your computer --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

I don’t need a workaround, because the options are always there on my phone in Settings/Action Button. No matter what I change I still have 13 options.
