Recently I switched to Windows 11, and (IMHO) one of the most painful features is the new right-click menu in File Explorer.
Since it doesn’t display any of my needed items (git, svn, notepad++, …), I always need to click on ‘Show more Options‘, and then I can select the required option.
I found it quite uncomfortable because it doubles the efforts to use them.
So, after a short investigation, I found a way to remove it (and restore it if needed), by adding and deleting a few registry items.
To disable the new W11 context menu, copy the text below to a text editor:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}]
@=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32]
@=""
Then save it as a .reg file.
To apply the changes, double-click it and confirm your administrative access rights.
To restore the new W11 context menu, copy the text below, save it as a .reg file, and apply it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}]
