Windows 11 brought a number of inconvenient changes, and one of the most noticeable is the right-click menu. Microsoft redesigned it in a condensed form, hiding many options in a secondary menu. To see the full menu, you have to press Shift + F10 or click Show more options.
Here is how to make the right-click menu show every option again, just like the classic version.
The fastest method
1. Open Run (Windows + R) > copy the code below, paste it into the Open field of Run, then click OK
[blockquote align="none" author=""]reg.exe add "HKCUSoftwareClassesCLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}InprocServer32" /f /ve[/blockquote]
2. Restart your computer, or open Task Manager > restart Windows Explorer (select the Windows Explorer process > right-click > click Restart).
The slowest method
If the method above doesn't work for some reason, try the steps below:
1. Open Registry Editor (search for it in Start, or open Run > regedit)
2. Go to the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARECLASSESCLSID
3. Right-click the CLSID folder, choose New > Key to create a new folder.
4. Rename the new folder (named KEY by default) to the name below (copy and paste it to get it exactly right)
[blockquote align="none" author=""]{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}[/blockquote]
5. Open the folder you just renamed, right-click, and choose New > Key to create a subfolder.
6. Rename the newly created subfolder to InprocServer32
7. Close Registry Editor and restart your computer, or open Task Manager and restart the Windows Explorer process.
That's all it takes to restore the classic right-click menu in Windows 11. Good luck!
