Windows 11 Tricks

Get the Old Context Menu Back

In Windows 11, you normally need to do an extra click of "Show more options" or use the keyboard shortcut Shift+F10 to see the full legacy context menu. Here is how to fix it!

Solution

1. Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
2. Go to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\
3. Right-click an empty area in the right-hand section and go to New > Key.
4. Name the key exactly: {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}.
5. Right-click on this newly created key and go to New > Key.
6. Name it: InprocServer32.
7. Double-click the (Default) value under InprocServer32 to open it.
8. Don't enter any value, just click OK to close it.
   • This will change the data from "(value not set)" to an (empty string).
9. Exit Regedit and reboot your computer.
