Use "Switch Type to" in Shader Editor (shift+s). For example change Principle to emission. It will work.
Use "Switch Type to" in Geometry Nodes Editor.

Now if you try using "Switch Type" in Shader Editor a message appears: "Not a geometry node tree."

I am experiencing this. Very frustrating, when trying to make what would otherwise be quick and simple changes to node trees.

In my case, it DOES NOT WORK in the Shader nodes editor. When I try to switch to another typoe of node using Shift+S, it returns a little window in version 4.0 Beta that says: "Switch type to", except it doesn't who any categories to browse, or the search option, to be able to actually tell it which node you want to switch to. Works fine for me in 3.6 LTS.
