The Windows 11 Right-Click Menu Problem
When Microsoft released Windows 11, they introduced a simplified right-click context menu that shows only a handful of options by default. To access the full menu — with options like Copy as path, Open with, Share, and third-party app options — you have to click "Show more options" every single time. For most users this is a frustrating extra click dozens of times per day.
How WinSetView Fixes This
WinSetView includes a dedicated option to restore the classic full right-click context menu that Windows 10 used. It takes one checkbox and one click — no registry editing, no command line, no restart required.
Step-by-Step: Restore Classic Right-Click Menu
Step 1: Open WinSetView by running WinSetView.hta from your extracted folder.
Step 2: Look for the Options section in the WinSetView interface — it contains Windows 11-specific settings.
Step 3: Check the box labeled "Restore Windows 10 context menus" or similar (the exact label may vary by WinSetView version).
Step 4: Click Submit. WinSetView will back up your current settings, apply the registry change, and restart Windows Explorer.
Step 5: Right-click any file or folder — the full classic context menu appears immediately with all options visible.
How to Revert to the Windows 11 Menu
Changed your mind? Uncheck the same option in WinSetView and click Submit again. The Windows 11 simplified menu returns immediately. You can switch back and forth as many times as you want.
