If you find a way, I'm sure we'd be interested too 😄. From what I know, this is just a known limitation of explorer.exe.

I was under the impression every context menu is built at request time. But I suppose that's not?

This is only about Win11 tier1 context menu. I guess it has something to do with picking up registered msix packages with context menu handlers 🤷
