Windows Context Menu - How to enable "Right click file & folder analysis"?

[The_Anti_Virus]

I'm using Kaspersky Premium with Win 11 Pro 22H2.

How to enable the context menu (right click) file and folder anaylsis? I cannot find any setting in Kaspersky. Do I need to go into the registry?

Thanks

Welcome to Kaspersky community.

 

It seems there is an issue with K. context menu in Windows 11, I'm also getting it in my W11 Pro x64,it appeared after updating from 21.14 to 21.15 overwriting (not a clean install).

 

Windows Registry probably not the solution.

 

The weird thing is that using ShellExView tool, it says it is enabled 🤷‍♂️🤔

It seems the solution is to not do an update overwriting the previous version, and running a clean install...

Always to do cleaned setup, it needs 5 min more but its result is better.

I use always cleaned setup and when i change Kaspersky program on my pc i use also kavremover tool.

Thanks to all of you. I will try it and inform you about the result.

Apparently, the Kaspersky option only appears in the context menu (right click menu), if you are using the modern Win 11 menu. If you have the Win 10 view permanently enabled you will not be able to see the Kapersky options. It will also disappear as soon you are expanding the menu ("Show other options").
Could have been solved better by KASPERSKY, yet here we are.

Solution:

Delete the permanent Win 10 context menu with this command:

1. Win+R
2. CMD "Press ENTER"
3. Copy-paste "Press ENTER":
   reg.exe delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f
4. Task Manager: Right click on explorer --> Restart explorer // or restart your computer
5. Win 11 context menu
