If you feel the same way, today’s article will help you revert Windows 11’s right-click menu back to the classic menu style from the Windows 10 and Windows 7 era.


Step 1: Run PowerShell as Administrator.

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe

Press Enter to run the code.
