Here are the steps for bringing back the older style right click menu.

Double-click on Default on the right pane. Then click on OK without changing any values

Restart Windows Explorer or reboot the computer

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
