Shift + Right click has brought up extra options since at least Windows 7, probably much earlier. Including, weirdly enough, the option to copy the path to the file/folder you are selecting. I don't know why such a useful command is being hidden behind an extra key press that most people (from the looks of it, even on CP) are not even aware of
I had an argument on CP about it more than a decade back and was told that it should be hidden behind the extra Shift key press, because it's a more 'advanced' command
Cheers,
Vikram.

At the bottom of the context menu is (I think), More Options...
Click that and you will see the old context menu of yore, or last week whichever the case may be.

Thanks. I had seen that article and many similar ones. But it does not address the fundamental question of how to get the 'out of the box' menu to do what it is meant to do.

My experience, Windows 11 Pro
Highlight a file
Hit shift F10 -> gives you the more menu
Hit a shortcut key (eg 'm' to rename) -> acts exactly as you'd expect
Take care

There's a registry tweak to get rid of all that 'More options' silliness completely, if anyone's interested.
Edit: I see Greg already said that

If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter - Blaise Pascal.
Some of my best work is in the undo buffer.

On Windows 10 I open the start menu, right-click on the Visual Studio icon and see my solutions to open.
On Windows 11, they are gone. VERY annoying :thumbs-down:
I think that the Start menu needs some serious overhauling.

Pardon my mirth, but I am tickled by the irony of an OS that built its success on the idea of the WIMP point-and-click paradigm having to offer keyboard commands and apparently struggling to get it right!
PS I have nothing against WIMP and use both mouse clicks keyboard commands (where I can remember them or easily look them up from my cheat-sheet), but the irony is still amusing to me.

To get shortcut: Shift+F10 and then S
No need for Alt, just the letter.

Registry key to come back to normal File Explorer context menu:
reg add “HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\inprocServer32” /f /ve

My mom called this morning at 08:10, never a good time for a phone call.
It was my uncle.
He was on his way to a shared client of ours and his son, who works for him, was with him.
There was a dense mist and he didn't see the tractor in front of him.
The car was perforated and my cousin, Thomas, was hit.
He just died in the hospital
We shared an office.
My uncle was taken by the police as suspect of a deadly accident.
This is truly the most terrible way to start your morning

That's just awful - I don't know what else to say

It's not a good day for your uncle either ... I feel sorry for all of you, but he has to live with that for the rest of his life.
My condolences on your loss

It's the worst that could've happen to my uncle.
If he blames himself, which he shouldn't, I hope he can forgive himself too.

He's going to need a lot of family solidarity and support ... sometimes surviving is harder than dying.

Passing of a younger person in front of an elderly person is indeed terrible.

I can't think of anything worse than losing a child - of any age. This is so sad Sander.

Very sad. Death of a loved one is always the most difficult of events.
My condolences.
