Win11 Setup

Right click menu

Some of us have to use this every time we right-click, which is highly annoying. Thankfully, there’s a way to revert to the old menu permanently. All it involves is adding an entry to the registry via the command line. Here’s what you must do to get the old right-click menus back via Microsoft:

Right-click the Start button and choose Windows Terminal

Copy and paste this into the window: reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

Close Terminal

To see the changes, reboot your PC or restart File Explorer. You can restart it by killing it in Task Manager, then clicking "Run new task" and typing “explorer.exe” in the window without quotes.
