Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if path copy copy supported the windows 11 new context menu
see https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/07/19/extending-the-context-menu-and-share-dialog-in-windows-11/
they give an example that unpackaged (aka this app) need to have a sparse package to use the new APIs

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2019/10/29/identity-registration-and-activation-of-non-packaged-win32-apps/
Describe alternatives you've considered
You can turn off the new menu, however it is a much better experience in my mind, except when I have to use path copy copy and click "show more options" to view the path copy copy options

@mat-m commented on GitHub (Sep 26, 2023):
Even if the drop-down cannot be set there, being able to have the direct commands in the new context menu would be a great addition.

@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Sep 28, 2023):
Unfortunately, I do not have access to a PC that can run Windows 11 right now, so this might sleep for a while (with the rest I guess 😅 ).

hmmm.. reactos should make usable ..... :)

What a critical issue this is!
@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Feb 26, 2025):
I wouldn't say it's critical but it would indeed be cool not to have to go the second contextual menu. The Windows 11 contextual menu is less customizable so I don't think all commands could appear there, but maybe we could add the default one.
This project has been dormant for a while. I do hope to find some motivation to get back to it one day. If anyone wants to propose a PR, feel free 🙂

I really want to help, but my abilities are limited.
This might be useful for you: https://github.com/ikas-mc/ContextMenuForWindows11
I came across this: https://github.com/clechasseur/pathcopycopy/issues/3#issuecomment-356992046
So I used [ContextMenuForWindows11] to roughly implement the functionality.
@mat-m commented on GitHub (Jan 16, 2026):
Would you use a VM based on evaluation ISO to test ?
@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Jan 16, 2026):
I could, but since last I posted, I actually updated my Windows laptop and am now running Windows 11. 🙂
@mat-m commented on GitHub (Feb 8, 2026):
Good ! Next step is finding time to work on this issue, then ;-)
