Start11 question about default right click/contextual menu action

from Stardock Forums

Is there any way to disable the Start11 feature that replaces the right click/contextual menu action with the default Windows menu? I don't like the contextual menu in Start11 because it makes me take an extra step to use things like 7zip's contextual menu features.

Alternatively, is there any way to add contextual menu items to Start11's contextual menu?

Thanks,

Justin

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Can you post what you have now and what you wish to have when you right click on Start11 panel?

Thanks

On the left is the Start11 contextual menu that I don't want, and on the right is the default Windows contextual menu that I do want. I can't seem to find the option to change this anywhere.

You on Windows 11, yes? Can you post your context menu without Start11 installed?

Thank you,

Yes, I'm on Windows 11, hence using Start11. The picture on the right is the contextual menu on Windows 11 without Start11 installed. I thought you would have known that, being a representative for Stardock and all.

Hello again,

That is strange, from what I know Start11 do not control how your Right click menu. So the right click menu behave the same with or without Start11. Here is what I get on a system without Start11. Not sure how you conclude that Start11 introduce its own right click menu.

Thank you,

That is the normal Windows 11 menu.  Start11 is not impacting that at all.

The picture on the right is NOT the menu without Start11 installed.

Wow, just realized that I'm an idiot and you are both correct. I installed Start11 immediately after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 without ever right clicking anything, so I had no idea that that new contextual was a Windows 11 feature and had nothing to do with Start11. My apologies for the confusion and unnecessary forum post.
