Restore Classic Right-Click Menu in Windows 11

Windows 11 has introduced many interface optimizations compared to previous versions. However, one optimization has caused some inconvenience - the right-click menu now folds non-system menu items by default, requiring an extra click on “Show more options” to reveal the full menu.

There are actually two methods to restore the classic menu style:

1. Hold the Shift key while clicking the menu - this will directly show the full menu (Recommended)
2. Alternatively, you can permanently restore the classic menu by adding a registry entry:

1

> reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

After executing this command, you’ll need to restart File Explorer:

1

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe

This will completely restore the right-click menu to its classic style. To revert back, simply delete the registry entry.

Clipboard History Tool

Windows 11 includes a very useful built-in tool that keeps a history of your clipboard items. You can access it by pressing Win+V.

In addition to conveniently storing multiple clipboard entries, this tool also provides:

• Easy insertion of emoji
• Kaomoji (Japanese emoticons)
• Commonly used special characters
• GIF search functionality

To disable clipboard history, go to System Settings > System > Clipboard and turn it off.
