Win 11 Context Menu

Windows 11 simplified right-click context menu loads slower and you have to click, "Show more options". To normally bypass this, hold shift and right-click (or press Shift + F10) to access the full legacy menu.

The new "simplified" menu loads slower (noticable on corporate laptops) as MS slopped in JS for .. .. don't know why.

Orginal Context Menu

Run the following command in Command Prompt (Admin):

namespace TestApp.Models.Settings;

[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("StyleCop.CSharp.DocumentationRules", "SA1649:File name should match first type name", Justification = "This is small utility.")]
public static class Key
{
  public const string AutoStartApp = "AutoStartApp";
  public const string Ping1Enabled = "ping1-enabled";
  public const string Ping1Host = "ping1-host";
}

Alternative Approach

As an alternative approach, you can create your own custom LogService and wire-in class lookups etc.

The following snippet was created for a Prism.Avalonia application using NLog v5. It is long and adds overhead that must be maintained.

Program.cs

using Avalonia;

// The following was tested using RolsynPad 20.0

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

// Example usage
var ini = new IniFile();
ini.Load("config.ini");
