Windows 11
I've just foolishly downloaded Win 11 and the right-click options now cover 2 pages but I prefer the 1-page version that was on Win 10. How can I get it to revert to that one simply, please?

John,
It would make more sense if you told us where you were right-clicking. The action of right click varies depending on where your cursor is
e.g. on desktop it does one thing, in file explorer another.
To be honest, I didn’t find Win11 much different from Win10

Note that this topic has nothing to do with Family Historian.
Here's how to enable the classic Windows right-click menu...

(Edited to a solution that includes a downloadable .reg file so that you don't need to edit the Registry.)
