Windows 11: Enable old context menu (right-click style of Windows 10)

Although Windows 11 introduces a redesigned right-click context menu that improves on the old experience, the problem is that it is limited in the options it can display compared to the classic menu. When you right-click an item, you can click "Show more options" or use the keyboard shortcut "Shift + F10" to access the other entries, but that's an extra step.

If you don't like Windows 11's new menu design, you can disable the new context menu and enable the classic right-click menu by editing the registry directly or using the Command Prompt.

In this guide, I will show you the steps to get the context menu with all legacy options on Windows 11.
