Win11 Classic Context Menu

Windows 11 gives us a lot of “pretty” features, such as the newly redesigned right-click Context Menu. This attempt to minimize distractions and focus users can have its setbacks. For instance, it hides key features, can be slower to load (noticeable on older machines), and most of all, causes you to perform an extra click!

The Fix

Open a terminal command prompt and execute the following command. Boom, done, fixed!

reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32 /ve /d "" /f

Now we can get back that big-beautiful fully loaded context menu. No more, Shift+Click, Shift+F10, or selecting “Show more options“. Come to think of it, there could be fewer items in this menu.
