To always show all the Icons in the System Tray or Notification area of Windows 11/10, follow these steps:

1. Press Win+R to open the Run prompt.
2. Enter this value: explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
3. Tick the Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar checkbox.
4. Click the OK button.

Hope this helps everyone!

Happy to see the rest of my post isn't too off putting for a serious question :')

My first advice would be ditch windows 11. Every downgrade is a vote! You should be able to downgrade on your current windows 11 key. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63pangkWJU )

If you don't want to or that's not an option for you. This should do the trick:

1-Right-click the Start button and choose Windows Terminal.
2-Copy the command from below, paste it into Windows Terminal Window, and press enter.
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
3-(????) Restart File Explorer or your computer for the changes to take effect.
4-(profit) You would see the Legacy Right Click Context menu by default.

I've straight up copied that information from this link:

Edit: Do please take note, this worked about a year ago. Maybe it does not anymore.

Hope this helps!
