Extract Zip File

How It Works

Windows 10 Context Menu can be enabled by adding a registry key and then restarting the explorer. Make sure when you run the provided script file there is no operation happing in the background like file transfer etc. The script restarts the explorer to apply the settings. This means any explorer operation happening in the background will be interrupted.

Double Click Enable to Apply Fix

1. Go to the extracted file and Double Click on the Enable File to Run It.
2. Explorer will close and then Restart
3. Now Right Click on the Desktop the old windows 10 menu should appear.

Double Click Disable to Revert Back

2. Explore will close and restart.
3. Now Right Click on Desktop the new windows 11 menu should come back.

Opening Script File in Notepad

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

This script file contains just two commands. The first command adds the registry key which enables the Windows 10 right-click menu. The second command restarts the explorer so that the setting change is applied immediately.

Disable.Bat Script Details

reg.exe delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe & start explorer

This script file does the reverse. The first command deletes the registry key to revert to the original Windows 11 right-click menu. The second command restarts the explorer so that the setting change is applied immediately.
