I just noticed this one myself, 0.70.1.

I see the aforementioned double, and also see it twice when right clicking on a file:

under "open with...", and
under "share"

I have Windows 11's default mini menu BS disabled, and shell integration>show powerrename in: default & extended

The following info was described in #26743 but I don't see it here, so to keep all progress in one place: The two entries seen when right-clicking folders or directories correspond to the Registry keys Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PowerRenameExt and Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PowerRenameExt.

There is a THIRD context menu entry that appears only for QUICK ACCESS MENU objects. I haven't identified a Registry key that controls it.

Manually deleting the corresponding registery entry did solve this issue for me, but i dont know if it'll show again once i update the app, hoping for a fix directly from Microsoft

So much space wasted.. it's not just PowerRename.. all modules are at fault here. Blaming File Locksmith and Image Resizer too. None other than 3 dupes. v0.79.0 please fix this ASAP and make sure the code doesn't allow dupe shell context menu entries anymore. Also would be great if you could add as an option a cascading style regrouping all PowerToys entries into 1 submenu. powertoys_v0 79 0_context_menu_dupe_entries Edit: performed a check with Sysinternals Autoruns and I can't find dupe registry entries. How come? Is the registered extension itself faulty and containing double references? 🤔 PTshell

It wasn't actually all modules until recently, I believe they made a change the made it happen for all modules.

Truthfully I don't understand how this can be that hard to fix, this is the only piece of software I've ever seen do something this dumb and it's literally developed my Microsoft...

I have uninstalled it now because I find it so annoying.

Same issue on latest version, the right click menu is bloated with dupe entries. (the same as bel57) I have to uninstall the software I can't use it like this...

@jaimecbernardo @crutkas We should totally go after this.
