This method worked in Windows 10. In Windows 11 Phpstorm disappeared from the right click menu and setting it again with this method does not change anything :(

It still works just fine ✔️ , but you have to right-click on the folder from the outside.

This will not work if the installation was done with JetBrain Tool Box... any solution?

Make sure to change PhpStormPath to match your current path.

Please change the pycharm path as following:

C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps\PyCharm-P\ch-0\223.7571.203\bin\pycharm64.exe

It works for me.

On my Win 11 this sctipt add context menu only for file, not for folder/directory. But I use https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html for add menu items manually
