You can actually restore the old right-click menu on W11 with some regedit. Not ideal in any way, and a setting would have been a much better way to toggle this, but it is an option.

You can't edit the registry without admin rights which you don't have on a work laptop.
Yeah that's a fair point.
The problem is that the old righ-click menu is ALSO much slower on Windows 11. Shows a fucking spinner for half a second before the menu appears.
I've found that ( at least for me ) that was caused by some entries doing some checks before showing up. Getting a context menu editor and removing some of them can help.
Doesn't matter, it's a shit user experience and Microsoft's fault for putting the onus on the user to fiddle around at that level, rather than putting a hard, very low limit on how long shell extensions can hold up the context menu before they're banned from it.
