Windows 11 has an interesting icon based [copy] [paste] [del] set of icons of the top of a right click choice in the menu system. It means well, but sometimes there are things missing and you have to go to [show more options] and it can get annoying very quickly.

FOR ALL USERS IN ON THE PC
Here are two registry hacks to [enable] and [disable] the windows 11 version of the explorer right click behavior.
