Disable context menus in Windows 10 off and return to their classic appearance -

In Windows 10, Microsoft has changed the appearance of context menus for File Explorer, office and the taskbar. Both desktop and taskbar have broad context menu items, with plenty of space between elements of the context menu. The context menu of the taskbar also got a darker side, which corresponds to the taskbar when the colorization is disabled from the Settings app. Many office users are not happy with this change. It is possible to return the appearance of context menus office in their classic look like in Windows 8 or Windows 7.

To disable menus contextual wide and return their classic appearance in Windows 10 , you must apply a simple registry tweak. This will restore the right look like the old Windows 7 for context menus on the desktop and the file browser. The context menu appearance of the taskbar remains unchanged

   If the subkey FlightedFeatures does not exist, just create yourself

3. Create a new 32-bit DWORD value named ImmersiveContextMenu . Even if you use 64-bit Windows, you still need to create a 32-bit DWORD value. Let its value data 0. See the following screenshot:
