I'd like this as well. As a workaround for now, you can right-click drag the icon elsewhere in the same directory/desktop. This will pop up the legacy context menu with 7-Zip available for use. Yes you can click "Show More Options" as well, but I find the drag operation much faster once you get the habit down.

This pops-up the "copy here"/"move here"/"7-zip archive here" move context menu, sadly. (Or maybe it does now on Windows 11 22H2, build 22621)

  That sounds like the right menu. Maybe you just have 7-Zip configured differently than me. I have Extract and Add to... enabled as my context menu options to keep things cleaner. https://i.imgur.com/lcfXbXn.png https://i.imgur.com/lcfXbXn.png

    No, that's the one, what I mean is that this isn't the old context menu but the "move here" mini context menu. It doesn't have everything like rename, properties, etc. so it's not a workaround for "show more options" for things that aren't 7-zip.

      Okay, I see. Yes I was just talking about 7-Zip. At best you can use the Menu key[1] on keyboards. For some reason that opens the legacy context menu. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key

        "Some reason" here is: backwards compatibility. Good old Windows backward compatibility. If you've got habits or automations based on the Menu key (or its even older shortcut: Shift+F10), Microsoft seems hesitant to break them, even if they felt they could change the default behavior of mouse users.
