Context Menu on Windows 10

After more than 6 years of using Windows 10, users are now receiving the Windows 11 update with significant changes in both interface and PC support features. However, some of the "improvements" in this version make us feel uncomfortable when experiencing them, and one of them is tweaking the context menu! According to Microsoft, this upgrade will bring a more modern and tidy look compared to its predecessors.

However, it is quite difficult to get used to the new design of the context menu in Windows 11. It not only lacks familiar quick functions but also changes the display position, causing many tasks that used to be quickly performed to now cause unnecessary confusion. Although Microsoft still supports hidden shortcuts in the menu through the "Show more options" section (or using the Shift + F10 key combination), it would be better to display all these shortcuts on the context menu interface as soon as we right-click.

And if you feel the same way, here are the ways to display all the shortcuts in the context menu of Windows 11 without having to click the "Show more Options" button or perform additional Shift + F10 key combinations. Especially without installing any additional third-party applications or tools.

Disable show more options and display all shortcuts in context menu in Windows 11

Basically, you can manually create and override command lines through the Windows Registry to force Explorer to revert back to the classic menu style as before. No need to modify any system files, and it will work even if you have installed the latest update of Windows 11.

To do this, follow these steps:
  • Open Windows Terminal using Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt (no need to run with Admin rights as the override is done on the user's database).
  • Copy and paste the following command line into the Windows Terminal, then press Enter.
reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
  • If everything goes smoothly, you will receive the message "The operation completed successfully".
  • Close Windows Terminal and restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

Customization in the Registry

  • Open Registry Editor by typing "Regedit" in the command prompt (or the search bar in the Start menu).

  • Within {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}, create a new key with the name InprocServer32

    To restore the original default settings of Windows 11

    In case you want to restore the default design of the context menu in Windows 11, you simply need to delete {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2} from the Registry Editor, including the InprocServer32 subkey. Alternatively, you can execute the following command using Windows Terminal:

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f

    Make sure to restart your device or simply log out and log back in after deleting the entry to ensure that the changes take effect.
