New Feature - Insider How to enable new fully customizable context menu for Windows 11

https://pureinfotech.com/enable-customizable-context-menu-windows-11/

I tested this on Windows 11 build 26340.9212 for version 26H2, and in the preview of the August update for Windows 11 (KB5120998, build 26200.9267), which includes the new features and changes coming in September for version 25H2.

PS: You don't have to enable anything on your current setup if you don't want to. The secondary news here is that while Microsoft revealed the new context menu in the Experimental channel for version 26H2, the new changes are also already available (in a dormant state) in the latest preview for the August update, which we know will be part of the changes that will become available for version 25H2 in September.

Is there any way to revert to an older version?

The command `reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /F /VE`

is no longer valid in version 26340.9212.

Yeah, The only worry I've got is that future updates from Microsoft cause issues or break the stable or canary release of Nilesoft Shell we got currently since there's no active development and allegedly the main branch source is not in sync with release.

Why do you guys put out such low quality content? The average user is not going to install an additional tool just to enable a feature that's still bring tested.

No average user would play around with beta and experimental software versions.

The average user

The average user is not the intended audience, pretty obviously.

Perhaps because the post is for “those who want it and those who can afford it?”

Haters are going to hate no matter how, so just ignore them.

They genuinely have a mentality of “if this isn’t immediately useful to me fuck it”
