The said menu bar started showing up in my Windows 11 File Explorer out of nowhere. Can anyone help me out to get rid of it?
Option 2 from the following link worked for me. Option 1 “Always show menus” was not available in my current Win 11 Pro version 22621.675:
Add or Remove File Explorer Menu Bar using REG file
(Contents of REG file for reference) Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"AlwaysShowMenus"=dword:00000000
1 Create a new .reg file with the above content and save the file to your desktop.
2 Double click/tap on the .reg file to execute it.
3 When prompted, click/tap on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve.
4 You can now delete the downloaded .reg file.
