My workaround for this "enhancement" is not to display the "first
tier" menu at all.

Another way of saying this is "restore default context menu in Windows
11" or "restore old right-click context menu in Windows 11".

Basically, add the following to the registry (create any subkeys that
don't exist):

Root: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Subkey: 
Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32
Value name: (Default)
Value type: REG_SZ
Value data: (empty string)

To revert to the previous behavior, remove the subkey:

Root: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Subkey: Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
