QuestionWindows 11 shell extension Pin

Disclaimer: This is not intended as a programming question. I'm looking for experience and/or references to resources. I tried asking this question in Q&A and wasn't successful posting it, as any keyword I specified was rejected. Before you condemn me for asking here, I have searched on both Microsoft Docs[^] and general Googling with little or no success.

I have a Windows shell extension for an in-house diagnostic tool. Under Windows 11, the context menu entry it supplies is relegated to the "Show more options" submenu in Explorer. Naturally, I'd like to make my context menu entry a 1st class citizen. There is exactly one example that purports to demonstrate how to do this, and the comments indicate that it doesn't work. Microsoft's documentation isn't coherent on the subject. The gist of it seems to be that your application needs to be packaged like a UWP app, which requires a signing certificate and a whole lot of other bric-a-brac. By their own admission, VS2019 doesn't include the "tooling" to make this easy.

Has anyone done this, or do they have any suggestions?
