## Active Projects / Open Items

- Howard to apply Win11 right-click registry fix on the VM (pending confirmation as of 2026-04-17).
- If Howard uses more than one user profile on the VM, the registry fix must be run for each profile separately (fix is HKCU-scoped).

## Key Events / History

### 2026-04-17 — Win11 right-click menu revert

Howard reported the Win11 VM shows the compact (Win11-style) right-click context menu and finds it confusing. Standard per-user registry fix provided:

```powershell
reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force
```

- HKCU-scoped — affects only the user who runs it on that session.
- Persists across reboots. Stable on 22H2/23H2/24H2/25H2.
- No admin elevation required.

To revert to Win11 default:
```powershell
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f
Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force
```

## Anti-Patterns / Warnings

- [WARNING] Almost no infrastructure is documented for this client. Do not assume anything about their environment beyond a single Win11 VM managed by Howard.
- Add infrastructure detail to this article whenever encountered — this is a thin record.
