How to enable the old menu in Windows 11 using regedit

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

Windows 11 has a new context menu that is small in size and has most of the options hidden behind the Show more options button that basically opens the classic context menu. I personally don’t like the new context menu as most of the time I have to hit the Show more options button anyway. Why make this a 2-click process when you can just open the old context menu on the first attempt?

Open regedit and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID

Right-click on the CLSID entry and select New > Key.

Put this value as its name : {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}

Right-click again on this new entry and select New > Key. Name this new key as “InprocServer32”.

Inside the InprocServer32 entry, double-click on the (Default) entry, and without putting any value data click on OK. This step is very important and the hack won’t work without opening and closing this entry.

To apply the changes, either restart the PC or press Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys to open the Task Manager and here right-click on Windows Explorer and select Restart. After the restart, only the old context menu will open when you right-click on empty space or an app/file.
