To be clear, on Windows 11, this shows the "classic full" context menu instead 
of what Windows considers important or recent plus "Show more options..."!

Surely you mean (-v displays confirmation):

$ regtool add -v 
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/CLSID/{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
Key {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2} created
$ regtool add -v 
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/CLSID/{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}/InprocServer32
Key InprocServer32 created
$ regtool list -pv 
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Classes/CLSID/{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
InprocServer32\ ()
