Windows 11 File Explorer context menu – turn off?

I’m generally OK with the Windows 11 File Explorer and its differences vs. Windows 10. Sure, I’d like keyboard shortcuts for everything, and it’d be nice if the convention of Ctrl+Tab working while mouse-dragging an object to switch tabs, but that’s about the only thing I miss in terms of features not carried over.

However, one thing I can’t get over is the new right-click context menu and how slow it is. I’m sitting here on a i9-13900K with 64GB RAM and every time I right-click a file I have to watch the menu populate and “grow” while it does. It’s not like it takes forever, but it’s not instant like the Windows 10 context menu was. Having developed muscle memory for where to click in a multi-step process, it just slows me down. Also, there are some really puzzling decisions like how VS Code still doesn’t put context menu items there and still populates the “old” context menu.

As this context menu ages, I don’t see what we’ve gained over Windows 10. It’s starting to get cluttered up with new entries as apps start to use it more, and that just makes it slower, not to mention that you can’t fit as many items on this new menu.

I know that the old menu can be reached with a keyboard shortcut like shift-clicking the object, but is anyone aware of a durable way to simply disable the new context menu and always have the old one show up by default?
