How to bring back classic context menu on Windows 11

To bring back the classic context menu on Windows 11, use these steps:

Search for regedit and click the top result to open the Registry.

Navigate to the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID

Right-click the CLSID key, select the New menu, and select the Key option.



Name the key {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2} and press Enter.

Right-click the newly created key, select the New menu and select the Key option.




Name the key InprocServer32 and press Enter.

Double-click the newly created key and set its value to blank to enable the classic context menu on Windows 11.




Click the OK button.

Restart the computer (important).

Once you complete the steps, whether you right-click on the desktop, file, or folder on File Explorer, the classic context menu will appear instead of the modern menu.
