Microsoft Overhauls File Explorer Context Menu in Windows 11 Pre-Release Builds

Microsoft has rolled out five new pre-release builds for Windows 11 through its Insider Program. The update brings significant improvements to File Explorer, including a redesigned context menu that is faster, simpler, and more customizable. This redesign aims to enhance navigation workflows and provide users with better control over their files.

The new context menu features a 'Customize menu' item at the bottom, which opens a settings page for the app. Microsoft emphasizes its commitment to continually improving File Explorer, stating that not every update will be immediately apparent but together they should make the app feel faster and more dependable.
