Context menu for Shell does not appear on the taskbar #802

Description

The NileSoft Shell context menu works correctly on the desktop, but it fails to appear on the Windows 11 taskbar. Despite having a valid taskbar.nss configuration and using the latest version of the application, the system defaults to the native Windows context menu when right-clicking on the taskbar.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Right-click on an empty space on the Windows 11 taskbar.
  2. The context menu displayed is the native Windows one, not the NileSoft Shell menu.

Troubleshooting performed:

  1. Reinstallation: Performed a clean installation of the latest version with no success.
  2. Registry modification: Attempted to modify the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nilesoft\Shell\Disable key (setting the Taskbar value to 1 and subsequently deleting the key entirely) to force a refresh, but the issue persists.
  3. Process restart: Performed multiple explorer.exe restarts and system reboots.

Additional Information:
The menu works perfectly everywhere else (Desktop, File Explorer context menus), so the issue seems to be limited specifically to the "hooking" process on the Windows 11 taskbar.

System Information:
Windows 11 25H2 (26200.7922)
