With Windows 11, Microsoft made the Windows Explorer context menu less useful by deciding to only show some of the options in the context menu when you right click. Then presenting a “Show more options” menu item that when clicked will show the old context menu. Needless to say, this is breaks muscle memory and keyboard shortcuts.
Luckily, it is quite easy to restore the old context menu with a registry tweak.
The following registry tweak will restore the old Windows Explorer context menu:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32]
@=""
Copy this code to a text file and save as disable-new-context-menu.reg.
Then doubleclick the file to load it to registry.
Alternatively, you can use regedit.exe to manually make the change to registry.
