    Windows 11 - Right Click Menu Icons Change from Top to Bottom in File Explorer


    I am using Windows 11 Enterprise Edition, Version 23H2. OS Build 22631.4317. When I am in File Explorer and right click a file, sometimes the icons appear on the top and other times they appear on the bottom. It could be the same file type i.e. Word, Adobe, Excel. What is the reason for this? How is it determined whether or not the icons will appear at the top or the bottom of the menu when you right click a file? Screenshots attached.Also, can the settings be changed to show the icons on the top or bottom? I do know that I can get the old context menu back by pressing my Shift key when rig

    :)

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Thank you so much for this Fix you linked to for the Windows 11 Dumb Menus problem.

    Those dumbed down context menus were driving me CRAZY!

    Specifically I want to to be able to COPY files & Folders to OneDrive this way, but the dumb menu only allows you to MOVE files!

    Even the extended "Show more options" menu does not allow OneDrive Copy only Move! How annoying, even more so that to change this we have to crawl through regedit and make changes!

    (Yes you can copy then paste using the Dumb Icons at the top, but that requires more steps)
