When you right-click to open a file, one option is to choose Open with and Choose another app, followed by "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store." You can remove "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store" to help clean up your Context Menu.

Note that this is not the same as the original "Search the Microsoft Store" option that you see first.

Download Add or Remove 'Look For an App in the Microsoft Store' Context Menu in Windows 11 from MajorGeeks and extract the two files.

Double-click on Look For an App in the Microsoft Store - REMOVE.reg or Look For an App in the Microsoft Store - ADD.reg (Default).

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
Click Yes when prompted by Registry Editor.
Click OK when prompted by the Registry Editor.
