Pull request overview

Fixes Windows update/install cleanup issues when the user has forced the classic (Windows 10-style) context menu on Windows 11 by ensuring the explorer context menu AppX is removed in that scenario, and by tightening the detection logic to the correct registry hive.

Changes:

  • Update “classic context menu forced” detection to only check HKCU (removes HKLM check).
  • On ssPostInstall, proactively remove the context menu AppX package when classic context menus are forced.
