I might do this fix because the item I most want in the right click menu is NEW and I usually have to do MORE to get it. To me, the Copy and Rename icons are less than intuitive. I’m sure that Microsoft could have found better ones for those two functions.
All we can hope for is that Microsoft listens to feedback from users…

I read elsewhere this doesnt work since an update 22000.71 update. I can confirm it doesn’t work for OS BUILD 22000.258 Windows 11 Pro. Is it working for others?
In order to make this work, it must be done as the user that wants this functionality. In other words you cannot do this as an admin.

Thank you for the win 11 right click hack😊… My main beef with the “new and improved” wi 11 context menu is that It required an additional click to get the the old and, familiar context menu which in my personal opinion along with the changes to the start menu & the touch keyboard (positioning & design) are completely unnecessary changes to the long established windows ecosystem. As the saying goes…”if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” P.S Please post a hack to give me back the old (win 10) start menu view

Upon using the Win 111 right click hack for the first time, I was able to use Winrar straight away to decompress a file folder but, I was unable to access my preferred tag editor MP3 tag. I even tried re installing it to no avail so, I RELUCTANTLY and, sadly reverted back to the original win 11, right click context menu as, MP3 tag is an app I use quite frequently.

Nevermind we figured it out.
