New Windows 11 Customizable Context Menu

Starting with the November update, Windows 11 is getting a new context menu experience that gives you more control over the commands and app extensions that appear in the main menu. The new menu reduces clutter and makes the experience faster by moving app extensions into a separate submenu. It also introduces a "Customize menu" option at the bottom of the interface, which opens a dedicated Settings page where you can enable or disable built-in commands, add options such as "Print" and "Send to," and control which app extensions appear in the main menu or submenu. You can also display "Cut," "Copy," "Paste," "Rename," "Delete," and "Share" as individual commands instead of showing them in a vertical view. Windows 11 also lets you move "Properties" to the bottom of the menu as it appeared on Windows 10. To access these options, right-click a file, folder, or the desktop and select Customize menu, or open Settings > Personalization > Context menu. You can keep the default configuration if you prefer. Holding down "Shift" while right-clicking also reveals the legacy context menu. This article has more details.
