Hello!

I cannot stand the new drop down when I right click on a file. Could you please update windows 11 so we can set the show more option as the default?

Thank you!

    Hi Brie,

    You can use a small registry hack to revert to the classic context menu if you're not fond of Windows 11's fast context menu.

    1. Open a Command Prompt window.
    2. Type the following command line and press Enter: 
       reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32 /ve /d "" /f

    This is beyond STUPID ... seems like it's one regression after another with you guys.

    We don't care about your fancy shmancy UI look or useless apps ... bring back CORE FUNCTIONALITY (Start Menu, right click context menu, etc). Your UI designers need to have their head examined.

    Even putting the computer to Sleep on a desktop is a multi-click affair these days ... Sheesh!

    Thank God for Stardock's Start11.
