Right click context menu additions missing Windows 11 ARM

I have an old piece of software I use for my work, which hasn‘t had dev done on it for more than a couple years i think it works by allowing a right click drag and drop on a file to show an extra option for the ap to take action i.e. right click drag> copy with program (instead of windows default copy)

The issue is i need this software to work on my MACos virtual machine on apple silicon, meaning i need it to work on Windows 11 for ARM. Can anyone help me add the ones from my standard windows machines to the wherever the other location is on the windows for ARM system?

    ARM version of Win11 requires applications to be compiled as native ARM64 or run through x64/x86 emulation. Missing items in the right-click menu can be resolved by rebuilding the icon cache.
