Microsoft Overhauls Windows 11 Context Menu After Criticism

Microsoft has been working on improving its Windows 11 context menu, which was initially criticized for being cluttered and sluggish. The company had promised to address the issues with the legacy context menu in Windows 10, but it seems that the modern context menu didn't quite live up to expectations.

In a recent announcement, Microsoft acknowledged that the modern context menu became cluttered and slow over time, but the company has now introduced a new context menu experience that can be customized. This update is aimed at improving performance and making the context menu more user-friendly.

Despite this improvement, the legacy context menu from Windows 10 will still be available for users who need it. The 'Show more options' feature will no longer appear by default, but users can turn it on in settings if they have legacy extensions that require the older menu.
