Hi Brie,

You can use a small registry hack to revert to the classic context menu if you're not fond of Windows 11's fast context menu.

  1. Open a Command Prompt window.
  2. Type the following command line and pressĀ Enter:
     reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32 /ve /d "" /f

    Hi Brie Minarik,

    Setting the more options as default is currently not an option, you can however hold down the shift key when you right-click to open it directly.

    This is beyond STUPID ... seems like it's one regression after another with you guys.

    Agreed, but please understand that you're not speaking to Microsoft here. You're speaking to other users.
