1. Open the Start Menu.

2. In the white line (Start Search) area, type regedit and press Enter.

3. If prompted, click on Continue in the UAC prompt.

4. In regedit, go to: (See screenshot below step 5A)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellx\ContextMenuHandlers

5. In the left pane, right click on ContextMenuHandlers and click on New, then on Key.

6. Type Windows Switcher and press Enter.

7. In the right pane, right click on (Default) and click on Modify.
