After a week, I have tried my best but no luck regarding adding new items in Win-X menu. I've find the registry keys of Win-X items but they are not working in Win11 latest version. But I got a method to replace the Powershell with Command Prompt. This is not a proper way to replace it but ya..you can replace it. Just make a shortcut of cmd from System32 and remane it as Windows PowerShell and replace it with original powershell in **C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows PowerShell**. And rename it using Win-X menu Editor by Winaero. This is the only way to replace pwrshell with cmd. But the issue with it is that the name you got on title bar after launching the cmd was Windows PowerShell, not Command Prompt. If you have no issue with it, then go ahead. |

After searching for long time, I got a method to remove items from the Win-X menu in 22H2 builds. As all know that there is no way to edit the Win-X menu after updating to 22H2. Even Win-X menu Editor also don't work in latest builds.
But after researching on this, I got a method to remove items. I will try to check a method for adding our own shortcuts to this (as we can do in Win10). But currently check for removing items.
There are 2 folders i.e. "Current User" and for "All Users" :
For Current User:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX
For All Users:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX
In this, I've removed Powershell Admin and Task Manager as I don't need those shortcuts.
In this, MS merged Powershell and wt together, so, removing both wt also remove both Powershell
I'm trying to add cmd in replacement of Powershell. I'll update this after I found a way to add items too.
