[950] Duplicate Bandizip Entries in Context Menu When Right-Clicking Archives (Win11 New + Classic Context Menus Merged)
Posted: 21.06.2026, 10:03
Hello,
I found a context menu issue in FreeCommander XE 950 on Windows 11.
Environment
FreeCommander XE 950
Windows 11
Bandizip installed
Problem Description
When I right-click a compressed archive file (for example, ZIP, 7Z, or RAR) inside FreeCommander, the context menu appears to merge both:
The new Windows 11 context menu entries
The traditional (classic) context menu entries
As a result, Bandizip commands are displayed twice in the same menu.
Why This Is a Problem
I rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts and quick menu navigation. Having duplicate menu entries makes the context menu longer and less predictable, reducing efficiency and making it harder to select the desired command quickly.
Expected Behavior
FreeCommander should display either:
Only the Windows 11 context menu entries, or
Only the classic context menu entries,
or provide an option to choose between them.
Duplicate entries from both menu systems should not appear simultaneously.
