Context menu missing items

When I "shift+right_click" on an .exe file in XY a context menu pops up. This context menu is different from the context menu that pops up when I "shift+right_click" on the same .exe file on the desktop, or the Windows task bar, or Windows File Explorer.
Specifically. In Windows I have a context menu item "Run in COMODO Sandbox". XY does not.
Is there a way to activate this option in XY?

If you are on a 64bit system, by default you will see the 32bit context menu.
This includes an item Show 64-bit context menu - try that.

Thanks. This works.
Is there a way to get to the 64bit context menu in one step?

...but then you'll miss the 32bit entries...
No way to get both together.

Such as......?
I am asking because I also wonder from time to time why we have this distinction that I see nowhere else. Not that I wouldn't have 32-bit apps, I've got plenty, but for some reason they seem integrated into the 64bit-menu, even when calling up the 64bit menu from within XY, I still get to see my 32-apps from the 64bit menu

Don't know exactly. But often heard people complain about missing entries after using 64-bit menu. So I'd think there will be some.
But you can try: just compare entries shown for 32bit and for 64bit

(
Not only shown apps - I think also "general entries".)

The XY internal ones aren't visible.
General - Menus, Mouse, Safety, Custom items in shell context menu...

Thank you both,
about the XY internals - yes, that's exactly what I wonder about. If other 32 bit applications manage to get listed under 64.....
XY is obviously able to display the 64 menu. Shouldn't it be possible to simply read it in below the XY internal entries, where the 32-entries are currently showing? Combining or integrating the 64 read-out directly below the XY internals?
I really don't see anything missing on 64-context that I would have on 32 context only.
