How to Change the Right-Click Menu in Windows 11 Back to Windows 10 Style

 Introduction:

 Windows 11 has introduced a new modern interface with a revamped right-click menu, which some users may find different from the familiar Windows 10 style. However, if you prefer the classic right-click menu from Windows 10 and want to revert to it in Windows 11, you're in luck! In this blog, we'll walk you through the steps to customize the right-click menu in Windows 11 to look like Windows 10.

Step 1: Open Registry Editor

 To modify the right-click menu, we'll need to make changes to the Windows Registry. Please note that modifying the registry can be risky, so proceed with caution and make sure to backup your data before making any changes.

• Press the "Windows" key + "R" to open the Run dialog box.
• Type "regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  

Step 2: Navigate to the ContextMenuHandlers Key

 The ContextMenuHandlers key contains the settings for the right-click menu in Windows 11. We'll need to navigate to this key and make changes to customize the right-click menu.

•  In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell

 Step 3: Create a New Key for Windows 10 Style

 Now, we'll create a new key under the shell key to customize the right-click menu in Windows 11 to look like Windows 10.

•  Right-click on the "shell" key and choose "New" > "Key".
•  Name the new key as "ContextMenuHandlers" (without quotes).

Step 4: Modify the Default Value

 Next, we'll modify the default value of the ContextMenuHandlers key to change the right-click menu to the style of Windows 10.

• Right-click on the "ContextMenuHandlers" key that you created in Step 3.
• Choose "New" > "String Value".
• Name the new string value as "DelegateExecute" (without quotes).
• Double-click on the "DelegateExecute" string value to modify its data.
• In the "Value data" field, enter "{e2bf9676-5f8d-4060-b96f-64b847d26080}" (without quotes).
• Click "OK" to save the changes.

Step 5: Close Registry Editor and Restart

 Once you've made the changes to the ContextMenuHandlers key, you'll need to close the Registry Editor and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

 Conclusion:

 That's it! By following the steps outlined above, you can customize the right-click menu in Windows 11 to look like Windows 10. Please remember to be cautious when modifying the registry, as any incorrect changes can potentially harm your system. If you want to revert to the original right-click menu in Windows 11, simply delete the "ContextMenuHandlers" key that you created in Step 3. We hope this tutorial was helpful in customizing your Windows 11 experience to suit your preferences!
