    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    Well.. have a look at this:

    In Windows 11 The Context Menu won't open if I move a window to a secondary screen [​IMG]


    I took a risk. I've set a System Restore point then installed Gold Wave.
    It was not present in that Open With list.

    I used the Default Programs Editor:

    Did you click Save...? You should have seen:

    Note: if you are running as a standard user you may need to run it as admin, if it doesn't offer a UAC prompt.

    - opened via Open With as above.

  3. Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2
    Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs
    Diagram 'B' shows the extended list

    I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension.
    I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option.
    If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify.
    I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In Windows 11 The Context Menu won't open if I move a window to a secondary screen

    So I've been dealing with what I thought was random outage of the right click context menu but I kind of think I figured out the pattern of what is happening, So now I can at least explain this. And these results reproduce every time and occurs with any Window or app/program launched on any screen.

    I'll start with what I have to do to have normal function of the context menu... when opening any window I have trigger the context menu least once within the screen it started in before moving that window to the second screen.

    If I don't trigger the contexts menu on its originating screen the menu will not be able to open on the second screen until I restart the program or window. And if I move that window back into its originating screen the menu will still open there and always open there. but will still continue to fail if again returned to the second screen.
