Windows 11: You can now return to the Windows 10 context menu.

Windows 11 has greatly simplified the context menu by making it less dense. This has removed many of the options placed in the submenu titled Show Advanced Options. However, not everyone liked it, and some even desperately try to return everything to square one. If this is you, then we have good news! This can be done in two ways. Either through registered or through a small app.

Windows 11: You can now return to the Windows 10 context menu.

Thus, it is possible to restore the previous Windows 10 context menu by setting the following registry key and restarting File Explorer.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesCLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}InprocServer32] =

However, we also have the classic Windows 11 v1.0 context menu that was developed by Sordum and which automates the task and does everything with one click.

This is actually a very small command line application.

Version 1.0 can be downloaded Here

Aside from being able to change the context menu, there are a lot more things you can change with other apps as well.

The Start menu is perhaps the most controversial aspect of Windows 11’s design. Microsoft has ditched Live Tiles and removed several customization options from the Start menu. However, you can get most things back with Start11. In addition, in a future update, it will even be possible to drag the taskbar to the top or side of the screen. It costs 5.99 euros.

Files

The native file explorer has received a small update for Windows 11, but not all that much. Files is a third party file manager with a modern design. Works well with touchscreen or mouse and keyboard. Recently received a major update to Windows 11.

StartIsBack: Another App for Customizing Everything in Windows 11

The preview version of StartIsBack is free, at least for now, and includes some very cool features. However, we have a classic toolbar design with the ability to make it look like Windows 10 or Windows 7. But we can do more, including in Conductor… However, it is possible to replace the new Windows 11 interface with the banner that was in Windows 10 and Windows 7

But, of course, the focus is on the Start menu. So, with StartIsBack, we get the classic Start menu, which works in a similar way to what was in Windows 7… But the matter goes even further. You can choose either not for rounded corners like in Windows 11, or sharper ones like in Windows 10… You can also put everything the same as Windows 7… At the same time, we can customize the colors.
