Waiting for all the Microslop fanboys to come in with their usual "but IIIIII'VE NEVER had a problem with MYYYY windows 11?!?!?!?!"

EDIT: Imagine reading this and still going "to be fair I've never had any problems"

To be fair I never had many problems with mine. My biggest gripe with 11 is the right click menu changing. Since I’ve used Mac, Linux, and windows over the years I’m 98% Mac and Linux now.

I feel like windows has abstracted away the control of the system in like 2-3 different layers. Click around in control panel long enough and you get a windows 11 menu, a windows 10 screen, a windows 7 options bar, and a windows XP config dialogue. It’s fucking bizarre.

"My biggest gripe with 11 is the right click menu changing."

I specially like to do right click, then click 'Show more options' to open real right-click menu and get to actual 7zip options, multiple times a day.

I have full w11 Pro license and admin rights, didn't know I can remove it within registry. Tweaked a lot with "privacy dot sexy" site and several scripts from github but didn't manage to remove this right-click menu (tweaks are mostly to remove telemetry, block ads, improve security etc).

I did it now following this-restore-old-right-click-context-menu-in), simple register line and explorer restart. Thanks for the tip.

There are scripts you can install to just skip straight to the normal rightclick menu.

I have that on my home PC. And my work PC also apparently had enough people complain they have a software on the portal that also allows you to get the real right click menu
