 +++++ How do I get my full right click context menu back in Windows 11? |
 +
 +Windows introduced a strange thing in Windows 10/11. The context menu pushed a lot of options onto another context menu that you could only access via a "more..." link in the menu or "Shift+F10". This made the paste operation either a 2 click option or you had to press the Shift+F10.
 +
 +Here is a method to bring back the old FULL context menu. Please BE AWARE that this requires you to edit the Registry of your Windows PC. If you are not happy with this please do NOT ATTEMPT IT. Thanks.
 +
 +==== How to Get Full Context Menus in Windows 11 ====
 +
 +* Open regedit. The easiest way is to hit Windows + R, enter regedit and hit Enter.
 +
 +  Navigate to `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\`
 +
 +* Create a new registry key called `{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}` underneath `CLSID`.
 +
 +  You can create keys by right-clicking in the right window pane and selecting New->Key<br>
 +  Then entering the correct name for the folder.
 +
 +* Create a new key called `InprocServer32` underneath `{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}`
 +
 +* Open the `(Default)` key in `InprocServer32` and set its value to blank (highlight cell and press delete), then click OK.
 +
 +  You will notice that the Data which was originally "(value not set)" is now shown as blank.
 +
 +* Close registry editor and reboot.
 +
 +  You will now see the classic-style context menu.
 +
 +  If you want to revert back to the default, limited context menu, delete the `InProc32 key`
