In the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7271, Microsoft has given the right - click menu in File Explorer a makeover. This update is aimed at tackling the problems of menu clutter and excessive space consumption that users have long complained about. The revamped design has successfully made the menu more compact and well - organized. It achieves this by rearranging and grouping similar actions together. Take the example of less frequently used actions; they are now neatly consolidated into a 'Manage Files' submenu. This simple change has effectively reduced the space occupied by the menu by four lines. For files that are synced to the cloud, such as those stored on OneDrive, related options have been smartly integrated into a secondary menu. This not only keeps the main menu clean but also makes it easier for users to find the options they need. However, despite these notable visual enhancements, the new menu still has a long way to go in terms of performance. Users have reported that the loading speeds of the new menu are slower compared to the previous version. Moreover, the overall responsiveness of the menu doesn't quite match up to the snappy performance of the right - click menu in Windows 10.
