Restore Full Context Menus in Windows 11

Restore Full Context Menus in Windows 11

If you hate having to dig into “Show more options” in your context menu to do something you used to be able to do in Windows 10 a whole lot more conveniently, here’s the trick to fixing Windows 11’s context menus.

1. Open Regedit by hitting the Windows key and typing regedit. Hit Enter to launch it.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID

3. Right-click > New > Key, and paste in this name: {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}

4. With the new key you just created highlighted, again right-click > New > Key, and paste in this name: InprocServer32

5. Double-click the (Default) registry entry and then hit Enter without typing anything to set its value to blank. Before making this change, you’ll see under the Data column that it says (value not set), but once you hit Enter it’ll show nothing.
