[Question] Windows 11 Context menu #663
|
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did check and I did not see it but it's possible I missed it. I know I'm not doing anything wrong because in the video showcasing this piece of software, it shows the old context menu. Anyways my question is: Is it possible to have this be on the Windows 11 "modern" context menu instead of having to click "See more options" and find it in there in the older context menu? Or is this not something that can be done due to Windows being Windows? Just curious, thanks! |

I remember this can be done, but it seems that the new right-click menu doesn’t allow adding submenus, so it’s not suitable for this software. |

So just to be clear, you can add third party items to the W11 context menu but because this specific software requires a submenu, and the W11 context menu doesn't allow for that, it won't work? If so, I'll mark as solved because unfortunately there is no solution. Sad but it's what I figured, Windows being Windows. Personally I prefer the new menu because I like my UI to look modern. Unfortunately with Windows it seems new & modern = not functional which should not be the case in 2025, almost 2026. |

Yes, that’s it — Windows 11’s modern context menu allows third-party items, but it doesn’t support submenus, so software that relies on them can only appear under ‘See more options’. This is a limitation of Windows itself. |

Got it! Appreciate the help. Sad to see but figured that would be the case. One day Microsoft will make a good OS lol |
