Are they finally going to fix the issue of having introduced a second right click menu that forces me to click “show more options” literally every single time I want to do anything?

Run (as Administrator) in a terminal

  reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
Should restore the old right click menu (it did last time I used it at any rate).

So much of windows 11 configuration is removing things you never asked for and putting things back.

Sadly I’m in a locked down corporate environment, so I can’t edit the registry. IT even closed my ticket when I asked for them to make the edit on my behalf.

I don’t use Windows on any personal machines, so there’s no way for this to benefit me. I hope it helps others who are frustrated by this though!

You can use shift-right click to show the second context menu.

Lifesaver thankyou :)

Yes, they made it customizable. Here is a video showing the new options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX_WsBnuLf8

What, you don't find it charming that they shoehorned in the old right click menu without even changing its appearance to match the rest of Windows 11? It really shows how much thought Microsoft is putting into Windows now.
