PowerRename has two entries in Explorer context menu #21710
Comments
You just beat me to it. I see this too on my computer. Both work, by the way |
same issue here, thought it was caused by a context menu mod I installed, but it happened with that disabled too |
@Dgamefinisher: Thanks, you saved my day! 👍🏼 |
Update: When updating powertoys to version 0.72.0 power rename may disappear from the windows modern context menu. For anyone who used this fix, upon updating to this version of powertoys, should the issue occur, revert the registry change with the reg file below (remove .txt first).

Hi! We've identified this issue as a duplicate of another one that already exists on this Issue Tracker. This specific instance is being closed in favor of tracking the concern over on the referenced thread. Thanks for your report! |
Microsoft PowerToys version
0.64.0
Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
Running as admin
Yes
Area(s) with issue?
PowerRename
Steps to reproduce
Allow PowerToys auto-update to update previous version to v0.64.0.
✔️ Expected Behavior
PowerRename should only appear in each context menu level once.
❌ Actual Behavior
PowerRename appears in the legacy context menu twice.
It appears that when PowerRename is registered with the new Windows 11 context menu, it automatically propagates to the legacy context menu as well.
Problem seems to be resolved by deleting the now redundant legacy context menu registry key:
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PowerRenameExt]
