Microsoft rewrites Windows 11's right-click menu with a faster, customizable UX

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.

Windows 11 gains customizable context menus with a Windows 10-style vertical layout option

Windows 11 is getting a more configurable context menu. In upcoming preview builds, a new Customize option lets you open Settings to pick which actions appear, adjust layout by placing primary actions vertically (Windows 10 style) or horizontally, and group certain actions (like cloud storage) in their own sections. The legacy context menu remains available but not as the default, and Microsoft plans to officially announce the changes soon.
