    Windows 11 Explorer Troubleshooting

    Note: this document assumes dBpoweramp to be installed in the default location in your system's program files folder. Replace location where appropriate if yours is different.

    Command prompt:
    "%PROGRAMFILES%\dbpoweramp\fooPackageOps.exe" /unregister Illustrate.dBpoweramp.Win11Shell
    You will be prompted for elevation.

    Alternate way:
    Run PowerShell as administrator
    get-appxpackage -name *Illustrate.dBpoweramp.Win11Shell* | Remove-AppxPackage
    This has the advantage of being able to clear leftovers even if relevant dBpoweramp files are missing.

    Command prompt:
    "%PROGRAMFILES%\dbpoweramp\fooPackageOps.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\dBpoweramp" dMCExplorerCommand.msix Illustrate.dBpoweramp.Win11Shell_s6r0h5jr5vt82
    You will be prompted for elevation.

    Administrator command prompt:
    regsvr32 /u "%PROGRAMFILES%\dBpoweramp\dMCShell.dll"

    [SIZE=3]How to ENABLE classic context menu back[/SIZE]
    Administrator command prompt:
    regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES%\dBpoweramp\dMCShell.dll"

    Note that dBpoweramp version 2023-12-22 doesn't support classic context menu on Windows 11 to mitigate a bug where both menus appear on certain systems in one next to another.
    To enable classic context menu in build 2023-12-22, you also need to import this reg file.
