Windows 10: Win11 update removed all my third-party context menu items

After windows updated, all third-party context menu items are gone, like dropbox, winrar, git and vlc. I don't want to remember and find every single menu item I had and uninstall and reinstall the associated programs. I just want them back. How to restore the context menu to what it was before?

Add or Remove Start Context menu items

Nyima,

I was not asking about adding and removing regular app items to the start menu, but rather adding or removing items from the Context Menu (Win+X). Specifically, I would like to add the Devices and Printers item to the list.

Thank you for the response.

 

How to remove item from Context Menu (after app removed)

It's not in the open with context menu (tried the steps from the link just to see, but no it's not in there). The app from the context menu is in the first layer, the one when you right click on an item and you have "scan with..." or "edit with notepad++" etc.
