Windows Explorer restart when right click at File Explorer and the problem on desktop

Copper Contributor

Today I was using Windows 11 Pro on Dev Channel, the File Explorer became the old explorer in Windows 10, and whenever I right-click at the File Explorer, the whole Windows Explorer just restart. Also, whenever I right-click at the desktop, the old context menu will show up (I did not configured anything in the registry). Is there anyway to fix those issues?

Make sure report this issue using the Feedback Hub app.
Try update your drivers.

Thanks to the Bing AI, I was able to fix this issue myself by running the following command in a PowerShell instance and restarting the computer. It removes the broken instance of the file explorer, which Windows automagically reverts to default.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsFileExplorer | Remove-AppxPackage
