If you want to return to the original Windows 11 menu, run this command to delete the key you created:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\86CA1AA0-34AA-4E8B-A509-50C905BAE2A2\InProcServer32" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Path\To\Your.dll" /f If you want to return to the original

reg query HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\86CA1AA0-34AA-4E8B-A509-50C905BAE2A2\InprocServer32 /ve If you want to return to the original
