How do I restore the full right-click menu to Windows 11?

Introduction
In Windows 11, one of the most frustrating changes, in my opinion, is the new context (right-click) menu. Previously, it offered a wide range of useful options. Now, it only shows a few, and I have to click “Show more options” to access the ones I actually need. How can I restore the more practical context menu from before?
Restore the full right-click menu in Windows 11 with a registry hack
- First, press Windows key+X to open the Quick Link menu, then select “Terminal (Admin)” or “Windows PowerShell (Admin)“
or
- Press the Win + R on your keyboard.
- In the Run dialog box, type “cmd” into the field and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
- Then type:
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
Use Ctrl+C to copy this, then Ctrl+V to paste it into the Terminal window before pressing Enter.
Restart your PC for the change to take effect.
