WINDOWS 11 CONTEXT MENU REGISTRY FIX
Open the registry editor (eg by pressing Windows “R“ and entering regedit)
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
Right-click CLSID and select “Key“from the menu to create a new key. Name this key {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
Right click the new key and select “Key“ from the menu to create a second new key inside the first, and name this InprocServer32
Expand InprocServer32 and double-click on “Default“ in the right-hand pane.
In the resultant “Edit String“ window, do not change anything and just click on “OK“.
Close the registry editor and reboot.
