How to remove Edit With Clipchamp from context menu in File Explorer

In File Explorer, you have the Edit with Clipchamp context menu command added by the new inbox app, Clipchamp. Microsoft ships it preinstalled starting in Windows 11. It has subscription plans, with a free plan available by default but with a limited functionality.

Starting in Windows 11 version 2022 Clipchamp is set as a default video editor. It also lifted up the free version limits. The export video format now supports 1080p (initially was restricted to 480p), and no includes a watermark.

When you first start Clipchamp, it offers you to pick a template for your project. The templates are optimized for popular websites like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. There are also templates for holidays, celebrations, and gaming. Users can also use a gallery of stock audio, images, video clips, filters and effects.

Clipchamp is very easy to use, so you can create and compile your video with a few clicks. However, some users do not use it that often, so they find annoying to always see it in the context menu for media files.

If you are one of them, you may want to remove the app from the File Explorer's context menu. There are multiple ways to get that done. Let's review them.

Remove Edit With Clipchamp from Context Menu

1. Press Win + R to open the Run box, and type regedit in the text box. Press Enter.
2. In the left pane, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions key.
3. Again on the left, right-click the Extensions folder, and select New > Key from the menu. Name the new key as Blocked. If you already have this key, then skip this step.
4. Now, right-click the Blocked key, and select New > String value.
5. Name the new value as {8AB635F8-9A67-4698-AB99-784AD929F3B4}.
6. Close the Registry Editor app and restart Windows 11.

You are done. From now you won't see "Edit With Clipchamp" in the File Explorer's context menu on Windows 11.

To save your time, you can download ready-made REG files.

Ready-to-use REG files

Download the ZIP archive with REG files from this link. Once downloaded, extract the archive content to any folder of your choice, e.g. right on the Desktop.

Double-click on the "Remove Edit With Clipchamp.reg" file and confirm the merge prompt. The information from the REG file will be added to the Registry. Now, simply reboot the OS and you are done.

The archive also includes an undo file, "Add Edit With Clipchamp.reg". It will restore the context command entry

Alternatively, you can remove Clipchamp. This will also remove all its context menus.
