Add new "Open with" in Windows 11 25151 insider preview

In Windows 11 25151, Microsoft has adapted the “Open with” window to the minimalist look known in Windows 11.

The “Open with” window now has the familiar rounded corners and a semi-transparent appearance. To apply this new window, you must add this feature to the insider build version of Windows 11. It is currently still available in a test phase.

If you want to add the new “Open With” window to get a preview of what the dialog will look like in official versions of Windows 11, then install Windows 11 Insider Preview and add the feature using ViveTools.
