TL;DR

Microsoft admits Windows 11’s context menu became cluttered and sluggish and is rolling out a redesigned, faster, and highly customizable context menu via Windows Insider Experimental Build 26340.9212. The update reduces top‑level clutter, adds a “Customize menu” page to toggle built‑in actions and app extensions, lets you arrange primary actions (including a Windows 10‑style vertical layout), and retains a legacy Show more options path for compatibility. The changes aim to boost performance and control in File Explorer; rollout is gradual to Insiders before general release.
