Sometimes it is required to unregister KES from context menu of Explorer. Follow these steps:

1. Disable self-defense of KES: https://support.kaspersky.com/kes-for-windows/12.10/133797?version=latest
2. Open CMD shell as admin;
   Replace KES.%version% with the actual KES version in the following commands. For instance, for KES 12.9 it'll be KES.12.9.0

3. Run commands:

   regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\KES.%version%\x64\shellex.dll"
   
   regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\KES.%version%\shellex.dll"
