Windows 11 has a new and redesigned right-click menu enabled by default, but this new menu has yet to be widely adopted by applications.
As a result, the new right-click menu includes a “Show more options” option that displays the right-click menu used in Windows 10. You can also directly access the older menu via a keyboard shortcut (Shift + F10).
Both of these options involve extra clicks or keystrokes in comparison to a right-click. Fortunately, if you prefer the old menu, it can be set to open by default by entering a command in Windows Terminal and restarting the PC.
The Windows 11 right-click menu can be re-enabled if the user wants to switch back to it in the future.
Key Takeaways:
- Windows 10 Right Click Menu can be accessed by selecting “Show more options” or by clicking the keys Shift + F10.
- Windows 10 Right Click Menu can be restored by entering a command in Windows Terminal.
- If you’ve restored the old menu, you can still revert the change with a different command.
“The Windows 11 right-click menu is just one of the many controversial additions to the new operating system. Its design is cleaner, the actions are more logically sorted, but so far, very few apps have updated the way they integrate into the Windows 11 interface, so you have to dig deep inside the contextual menu to find the associated actions.”
