I would like the option to be added to the Windows 11 context menu because it's kinda annoying to have to click an extra button in order to extract my files

    Yes, not everyone likes to be in the past. Windows 11 is here, why is it taking so long to update the context menu?

    The new crippled Windows 11 context menu requires a rewrite of the menu code and the app must be signed and must be a sparse package with app identity.

      In that case just fuxx this shxx - why would Win11 break on purpose all legacy software? Why is the "old" shell integration not supported at will?

        Old shell integration is still supported. With old menu.

        New menu required new integration because now only one top level item is allowed. If the developer needs more - he should make a submenu. If you allow the old software to integrate into the new menu, problems will inevitably arise: for example, 7zip will be unusable when the "Cascaded context menu" option is disabled. Thus, only applications whose developers have explicitly confirmed (by using the new API) that they are ready for the new rules are allowed to integrate into the new menu.

    7-Zip 21.06 (x64) works well in Windows 11. So the information on https://www.7-zip.org/ could be expanded to 7-Zip works in Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP / 2019 / 2016 / 2012 / 2008 / 2003 / 2000.
