I've been stupid and was to fast and installed fuse, which broke some of my zorin17pro
I reinstalled gdm3 to get some functionality back but still I can't get to the Settings.
Which packages I need to reinstall to get everything running again?
I would recommend to uninstall fuse when it makes Problems.
Because of the Packages ... well, there would be the Question what in detail doesn't run/work. When You only want the Gnome Settings Menu back, you could try:
sudo apt reinstall gnome-control-center
For the Case that it is completely uninstalled:
sudo apt install gnome-control-center
Another Option would be to install/reinstall the whole Zorin Desktop. That you can do with:
Install:
sudo apt install zorin-os-desktop
Reinstall:
sudo apt reinstall zorin-os-desktop

That's why it's important to read what's going to be removed before proceeding. I know the output looks daunting, but after a while you get used to scanning for the most important parts:
Make a note of the section "The following packages will be REMOVED". Another way of getting roughly the same information (though more complete as it may include dependencies from other dependencies), is by reading from /var/log/apt/history.log:
You can see that fuse was installed and other information about what else it did, like other dependencies it brought with it (none, in this case) and what got removed. To revert this, just follow the steps in reverse order:
sudo apt remove fuse
sudo apt install fuse3
This part is a bit tricky because the information within parenthesis does not need to be provided to the install command. But you can fix this with a little bit of shell magic:
sudo apt install $(echo "ntfs-3g:amd64 (1:2021.8.22-3ubuntu1.2), xdg-desktop-portal-gtk:amd64 (1.14.0-1build1), xdg-desktop-portal-gnome:amd64 (42.1-0ubuntu2), gnome-remote-desktop:amd64 (42.9-0ubuntu0.22.04.2), gvfs-fuse:amd64 (1.48.2-0ubuntu1), zorin-os-desktop:amd64 (1.6.8), sshfs:amd64 (3.7.1+repack-2), fuse3:amd64 (3.10.5-1build1), gnome-control-center:amd64 (1:41.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.8+zorin1), gnome-software-plugin-flatpak:amd64 (45.3-2ubuntu1+zorin1), flatpak:amd64 (1.14.10-1~flatpak1~22.04.1), xdg-desktop-portal:amd64 (1.14.4-1ubuntu2~22.04.2)" | perl -pe 's/\(.*?\),?\s*//g')

Good to read that it helps. If You should have maybe further Issues, you should take a Look at @zenzen's Comment and the listed Packages there.
