While Windows 10 has definitely gotten better in terms of functionality and overall stability, it never ceases to amaze me that Microsoft still doesn’t take user experience seriously. For example, if you use a lot of third-party apps on your PC, the right-click menu gets cluttered by countless app extensions and there is no dedicated settings page to remove those items. Sometimes, due to heavy extensions littered in the right-click menu, you start getting a delayed response and that makes it even more frustrating. However, there are some easy ways you can fix the problem. So, in this article, I am going to show you how to customize the right-click menu on Windows 10 with a step by step guide.
We are going to use a popular utility called ShellExView which is developed by Nirsoft. It’s a pretty lightweight program and completely free. The app allows you to disable context menus, filter extensions and more. So with all that said, let’s move to the steps.
- Now, just go through the list and disable the apps that you don’t want to see in the right-click menu. To do so, right-click on the extension name and choose “Disable Selected Items”. That’s it.
If you are someone who wants to do things manually then this section is for you. You can easily customize the right-click menu on Windows 10 through the Registry Editor and without downloading any third-party software. So here is how to go about it.
- Next, paste the below address into the address bar of Registry Editor and hit enter.
