Beginning with Windows 11, the File Explorer's context menu has been updated, becoming more condensed and based on Modern style. However, compared to the Legacy Context menu, the redesigned context menu has fewer entries. This article explains how to make Windows 11's Legacy Context menu appear by default.



By selecting Show more options at the bottom of the list or pressing Shift+F10, you can bring up the Legacy Right Click Context menu. If you want the Legacy Context menu to always appear when you right-click a file or folder, you must add the registry entry provided below.
