Windows 11’s redesigned right-click context menu has its fans and its detractors — some users love the cleaner default; others miss “Show more options” being a single click away. As an Intune admin you’ll get pulled into both camps, often by the same VIP. The good news is that the classic context-menu behaviour can be restored centrally with a single registry key, deployed cleanly through Intune via the Settings Catalog or a tiny PowerShell remediation. This post documents the registry tweak, the Intune deployment workflow, and how to make the change reversible per user.

This is sufficient for most users. However, if you often need functions that are not in the reduced view, then this can be a hindrance in the workflow. In this blog I want to show you how to get back the Windows 10 context menu with the help of Intune.
