I have already unchecked the option "Replace Command Prompt with Powershell" in Taskbar settings, but still when I right click within a folder only the PowerShell option is shown. How to replace it with Command Prompt? Or is it possible to add a shortcut to open command prompt with specific folder?

You can try this: open any folder, then click on the address bar and type "cmd" and press enter.

This will open the command prompt with the current path.

Install Winaero Tweaker *winaero.com/ So far it's free.
You may need admin account for proper install and working.

Go to Context Menu option and select Command Prompt or Command Prompt as Administrator as required.
Apply the changes.
