Restore the old context menu in Windows 11

Restore the old context menu in Windows 11

It feels like it takes an eternity for the context menu to load after a right mouse click in Windows 11 and then not all options are even available there. That’s why I’ll tell you here how to restore the old context menu.

Simply execute the following command in cmd:

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

and then restart Windows Explorer in Task Manager.

If the new context menu is desired again, the change can be made with

reg.exe delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f

can be undone.
