So I started using windows 11 recently, didn't like the right click context menu and went and found a batch file (i think it's called that) that restores the old context menu the way it was in Windows 10. I am interested in trying out the new one further and I am unsure how to restore the original, new windows 11 context menu. does anyone have a way to do that?
