Locked Windows 11 Pro 21H2 22000.71 - How Do I Disable the Initial Right-Click Context Menu?

[Apexx]

Good day, everyone! I hope you are safe and well!

As the title suggests -- I am trying to remove this default initial right-click context menu in windows 11 pro.
I really would like the default menu the first time.

I appreciate you all, and God bless!

I gave you a "like" but not help.. I have the same question.

 

[Asfandiyar]

open regedit.exe > HKEY Classic Root > Directory > Shell & Shell X
delete the keys.

I have tried the following registry edits, but apparently there was a Cumulative Update for Windows 11 (10.0.22000.65) (KB5004745) that must have broke it.

Disable Windows Shell New Context Menu and Enable Classic Context Menu:
[Note!] Make sure to save this as .reg file extension in order to "Merge"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

#disable windows11 new context menu and enable w11 classic context menu
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\4\586118283]
"EnabledState"=dword:00000001
"EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000001
"Variant"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayload"=dword:00000000
"VariantPayloadKind"=dword:00000000

Re-Enable Windows Shell New Context Menu:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

#disable windows11 new context menu and enable w11 classic context menu
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\4\586118283]

delete the keys.

Are you sure about it?
Both shell and shellex?

no check both folders and delete the extra keys which you don't like.
e.g cmd or taskbar & other options.

I did it didn't work context menu is the same.
After restart all the keys were back at their place.
Let's wait for another answer.

I searched to find a way but all the methods and programs i found failed.
So there is only one way.

I tried a tip from Winaero site and i was expected that could work but it didn't.
Everywhere i looked they all describe 3 methods nothing worked.

Use winaero Tweaker v1.20.1
You can restore the "desktop Right-Click Context Menu" to win10 like context menu

Hey, that almost did it!~ My start menu would not work, but the right-click context menu was fine!


EDIT! I installed
