Make Windows 11 Always Show More Options
Raw
README.md

By default, Windows 11 shows a simplified right-click context menu, and you have to click "Show more options" (or press Shift + F10) to access the full legacy menu. You can make Windows 11 always show the full context menu by following these steps:

  1. Run the following command in Command Prompt (Admin):
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86CA1AA0-34AA-4E8B-A509-50C905BAE2A2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
  1. Restart Windows Explorer by running:
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe & start explorer

NOTE: If you want to restore the default Windows 11 context menu, delete the {86CA1AA0-34AA-4E8B-A509-50C905BAE2A2} key from the Registry and restart Windows Explorer.
