Windows 11: How to Remove Editing with Clipchamp from File Explorer's Context Menu

Clipchamp is the new default application in Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. Microsoft purchased the web-based video editor in 2021 and integrated it into development builds of Windows 11 in early 2022.

The free version of Clipchamp wasn’t really usable at the time because it had too many limitations. It watermarks all videos and limits exports to 480p. Microsoft has lifted some restrictions and changed available plans. Export now supports 1080p, and free version exports no longer add watermarks.

Microsoft is making Clipchamp a default app in the Windows 11 2022 update.

Windows 11 users may come into contact with Clipchamp in various places. One of them is File Explorer, more precisely, in the right-click context menu of media file types.

The Editing with Clipchamp option is prominently located in the context menu. Windows 11 users who do not use the Media Editor have two main options to remove the context menu listing in File Explorer:

1. Completely uninstall Clipchamp on the system.
2. Edit the Windows Registry to remove only the Clipchamp context menu entry.

The first option is straightforward and more suitable for most users as it is simpler to execute.

Uninstall Clipchamp from Windows 11

1. Select Start > Settings.
2. Switch to Applications > Installed Applications.
3. Enter clipchamp in the search field at the top to quickly find the app.
4. Activate the three-dot menu next to the Clipchamp entry and select the Uninstall command.
5. Confirm the uninstall command.

Clipchamp has been removed from the system, including the application's context menu entries.

Remove Clipchamp’s context menu entry

Windows 11 users who use Clipchamp but don’t need the context menu entry can simply remove it from the operating system Delete this entry. This method may also be useful if Clipchamp was removed by other means, but the context menu entry was not removed.
