I need to open a .iso in a command window but the prompt is not available with shift + right click. I have tried solving this with changes to the registry with instructions here and here but this doesn't appear to work.

Any ideas about how to proceed?

The following link suggests you can do it via PowerShell (Command Window) in Windows 10. It is probably the same for Windows 11: -

If the .iso file is a download, you may need to unblock it first, via the files properties, before you can access it:

An ISO file will not have that context menu item available by default, but you can use an option below to mount it.

Thank you. I am trying to do an integrity check rather than mount it
