Used Win 11 at work recently, the explorer context menu still requires you to go through submenus to get to things like 7Zip; things I use constantly and aren’t in a sub-menu in Win 10. I’m not sure why Microsoft decided to ‘improve’ the context menu in the first place.
Edit: Apparently you can shift-right click to get to the functional context menu right off the bat.
i hate that some items are just icons now. i rarely use 11 in school but if i wanna for example copy using the context menu i can’t find them and then i have to put down the coffee to use ctrl+c/v/x. until i remember they are icons…

That’s a problem with 7zip, they haven’t updated it to fix that. Other apps like it have, a fork of 7zip with a more modern UI called NanaZip has it.
Try Shift+right click next time…
That is a menu that gives you even more options than the classic menu (well, at least one more, “Run as a different user”)
there’s a one-line registry-based ‘fix’ to re-enable the old (full) context menu in win11.
