Windows 11 - Why are there two right-click menus?

Question

In Windows 11 there seems to be two of the right-click menus: The standard one, and the 64-bit version.

The problem is that when I install programs/apps, some apps put their shortcuts into one menu, or the other, but not both.  Having to hunt for the correct menu item each time makes the right-click menu very inconvenient.

Is there any way to somehow combine these into one, single right-click menu?

Or alternatively force apps to use one or the other?

Answer 1

The light colored image is the 64-bit version which is accessed from the menu option on the dark menu under "Show 64-bit Context Menu".

It would be nice to edit the context menu to include items added by other Apps so I would need only one of these. That, and there are a number of items I never use.

Answer 2

Im also getting these two menus. It seems to change depending on if I click on a file in a folder first, then right click and just right clicking on a file.

Answer 3

Windows 11 should only have one right click context menu, your system seems to be switching between the Windows 11 context menu and the old Windows 10 context menu, it may be a bug, please provide a screenshot of the two right click menu's you are seeing.
