Programs work, but their functionality is hidden under extra menu item. This is actually a good change. The old one is very cluttered by exact programs you are talking about.
It will be less cluttered because the old system let apps mix their commands with system commands, messing with your muscle memory, while the new system has a dedicated API that oversees everything to group extensions to their own place below system commands.
This is the whole point to why Microsoft took this awkward step.
In my experience so far, I _exclusively_ use the options in the new submenu. It's purely a usability regression so far.
You can make the case for a new API to avoid orphaning, and for greater traceability - and also, hopefully, for better performance. But I sure hope the end result will be more usable not less, and I'm pretty disappointed that this intermediate step is such a step backwards.
Well, 7-zip, subject of this thread, does it (that one is useful though). Git adds "Git bash here" and "Git GUI here", which I never use. VLC adds 2 items, which I never use. There's useless for me stuff from Windows itself.
I have the same entries, as well as "Edit with Notepad++" in the menu of every file. I'm torn about that one. I use it, but mostly only because the "open with" menu is too cluttered as well.
There are some strange builtin entries from Windows. Like why do I have the option to "play" a jpeg on any Bluetooth headsets that are paired with my laptop? I just found out that besides "open with" and "send to" there is a third way to open a file using "share" to share a file with an app.
The most useless entry is probably from AMD Radeon software. Two entries on the very top of the context menu on every folder. I would understand if it appeared in the menu of the Desktop folder, but not on every single folder no matter how deep in the file structure.
