Windows 11 now lets you customize the context menu, or file right-click menu. Users can now add or remove various options right from the Settings app without using third-party apps. For instance, you can now add or remove Send to, Print, Create Shortcut, and Rotate Image options. Additionally, there is an option to add/remove “Show more options” as well.
By default, Windows 11 now shows a Customize menu option at the end of the context menu/right-click menu so that users can quickly start customizing the context menu. Clicking the Customize menu option opens the Settings > Personalization > Context menu page, which lets you customize the context menu. However, the problem is that this Customize menu option appears all the time.
Users who would like to have a clutter-free context menu might want to get rid of this Customize menu option from the context menu, as they can always navigate to Windows 11 Settings > Personalize > Context menu page to customize the right-click menu. Moreover, users do not customize the context menu every day. When they want to customize the context menu, they can go to Settings > Personalize > Context menu.
If you also feel that the Customize menu option is unnecessary in the context menu, you can remove it.
Remove the Customize menu option from the Windows 11 context menu via the Settings app
Please note that this option is currently available only in the Windows 11 Insider builds.
Step 1: Right-click on a vacant space on the desktop and then click the Customize menu option to open Settings > Customization > Context menu page.
Step 2: Here, turn off the option labeled Show Customize menu on the context menu to remove the Context menu option from the right-click menu immediately.
