How do I change “Open with Powershell” to “Open with Command Prompt” when shift-rightclicking in...
Shift-rightclicking an empty spot in Explorer displays "Open with PowerShell" instead of "Open with Command Prompt" since the Creators Update (2017-04). How can I get the old behaviour back where it shows "Open with Command Prompt"?
I tried changing the setting "Show PowerShell instead of Command Prompt when rightclicking the Start Menu or pressing Windows + X" to off, but that didn't change the shift+rightclick menu.

Open regedit.exe, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellcmd, take ownership of the key, add your user account full permissions and change the name of the DWORD from HideBasedOnVelocityId to ShowBasedOnVelocityId to enable the command prompt entry again.
Or apply Andrew Richards tweak to have both shown (cmd and PowerShell, also with entry to have elevate (running as admin) version),
by importing his .reg file (create a new txt file, paste the content and rename the file extension to reg):

This is extremely easy to acomplish
- In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window, go to the Navigation tab and uncheck the Replace Command Prompt with Windows
PowerShell option.
- Click Apply for the change to take effect.

This only changes the Windows + x menu, not the "Open with" menu when shift + rightclicking an empty spot in Explorer.

no Ramhound this doesn't work. you ONLY change what shows up in WinX menu on right click on start button, not doing a rightclick inside Windows/File Explorer

As a quick alternative to the other answers, you can type cmd on the address bar of Explorer to open a command prompt cd'd to the current directory. (If you are more of a keyboard person, you can use the Ctrl + L shortcut to focus the address bar and then type cmd.)
This works for powershell too.

To hit all of the locations where Windows has changed this, you can use the following registry file after taking ownership of each key in question.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectorybackgroundshellcmd]
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectorybackgroundshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryshellcmd]
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellcmd]
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=-
I would just take ownership of the [HKCRDirectory] and [HKCRDrive] keys recursively and force permission inheritance.

This hides powershell from the Shift-Right Click context menu and makes cmd visible.
Using a simple text editor such as Notepad, save the following code to a file with the .REG extension (e.g. MyImport.reg). Then double-click the saved file and follow the prompts to import it into the Registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryBackgroundshellcmd]
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryBackgroundshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellcmd]

The 2nd method in your answer is good. But for someone who has no idea what to do with the .reg, just copy the file text into a .txt file & rename the file <name>.reg & double click it to run. Even though there is error message, the operation is success

I'd rather prefer all of them to be sub menus of a single menu item. In original article there are also GIT bash items, makes default menu too cluttered.

As a quick alternative to the other answers, you can type cmd on the address bar of Explorer to open a command prompt cd'd to the current directory. (If you are more of a keyboard person, you can use the Ctrl + L shortcut to focus the address bar and then type cmd.)
This works for powershell too.

To hit all of the locations where Windows has changed this, you can use the following registry file after taking ownership of each key in question.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectorybackgroundshellcmd]
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectorybackgroundshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryshellcmd]
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesDirectoryshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=-

"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellPowershell]
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00639bc8
"ShowBasedOnVelocityId"=-
I would just take ownership of the [HKCRDirectory] and [HKCRDrive] keys recursively and force permission inheritance.

This hides powershell from the Shift-Right Click context menu and makes cmd visible.
Using a simple text editor such as Notepad, save the following code to a file with the .REG extension (e.g. MyImport.reg). Then double-click the saved file and follow the prompts to import it into the Registry:
