Context menu on the desktop

How do I recover a lost right-click drop-down context menu on the desktop?

 

Windows 11 context Menu Desktop right Click

Hi, the link that you have sent to me will restore the context menu of win10.

even if i follow the steps(HOW TO ADD AND CUSTOMIZE THE RIGHT-CLICK MENU) without executing the step of restoring win10 context menu, the notePad will be displayed in the group Show more options.

In my case i want to keep the context menu of win11, just i want to add items to the menu not in the group Show more options.

thanks!

 

windows 10 desktop icon context menus

(Windows 10 with Anniversary Update, patched up to date.) Following installation of Anniversary Update I have 2 context menu issues. When I right-click a desktop shortcut the context menu appears but Open, Run As Administrator, and Pin to Start don't work
- e.g., the app won't launch and it won't pin to the Start Menu (but it will pin to Taskbar). On the other hand, Cut, Copy, Delete, and Properties do work. It doesn't matter which shortcut I try, and this all worked before the upgrade. Also the Win-X menu
pops open, but none of those choices work either except the 4 bottom ones - Desktop, Shutdown, Run, and Search. Again, if the choice is to run a program, there may be a momentary spinner, but nothing starts up. The shortcuts only launch if I double-click,
and the context menus seem to work from inside the Start list (including creating a tile and pinning to the Start Menu from there.

I've tried different Google searches, but none of the hits quite describe my issues. One of the postings that came close suggested running a utility called ShellExView. I disabled all 7 suspect non-MS context menus it identified, but that made no difference.
So, can anybody help?
