Resize Picture Context menu entries appear twice in context menu

[Jerriy]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.61.1

Running as admin

• Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Image Resizer

Steps to reproduce

right click

✔️ Expected Behavior

one instance of "resize image"

❌ Actual Behavior

two instances of "resize image". This is also the case for PowerRename but at least that one has an option in its settings titled "default and extended context menu" (where you can choose to display either two or one only), whereas Image Resizer doesn't have that option.

Other Software

OS = Windows 11

Me too.

As a workaround it seems that deleting this reg key removes one of the duplicates on the context menu:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\ClassIndex{8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF}]

Is this still an issue with the latest version? /needinfo

[LagunaJim]

Thanks for asking! Yes I just installed Powertoys x64 in a Windows Sandbox (so a clean environment) and this is the result. Note that this is the “Show More Options” menu – on the initial “new context menu” it appears only once. In my regular environment (non-sandbox) I have the “new Show More Options” version of the menu disabled – but this doesn’t carry over into the Sandbox. /jim [A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated]

this will also remove the Win11 Context menu entry

For the classic menu entry, what I found that can be recognized as duplicates is the following:

[tahayparker]

can confirm that this issue still persists in v0.82

[KrisEnigma]

Hi, here to confirm this issue with version 0.82.1:

I disabled the default Windows 11 menu; I don't know if that's causing an issue.

[Thane5]

For me it now appears only once in the old context menu, but still not at all in the new Win11 context menu.
(Using v0.83.0)

[hopperelec]

I disabled the default Windows 11 menu; I don't know if that's causing an issue.

I also disabled the default Windows 11 context menu, so I thought it could be that. But, if I switch back to the Windows 11 context menu then click "Show more options", I still have the same issue. I also tested on a Windows 10 computer and I have the same issue.

If someone has this issue with PowerRename - you can delete the following reg key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\ClassIndex\{AAF1E27D-4976-49C2-8895-AAFA743C0A7E}

Weird. That key should kill one of the File Locksmith entries -- which it does. That it also kills Power Rename seems buggy, but that's a two-fer that works. Thank you.
