Windows 11 right-click menu becomes faster and customizable

Summarised from TechRadar's report · Updated 29 Oct, 13:20 · Archive

Windows 11 users can now customise the right-click context menu to remove unwanted commands and add preferred apps.

TechRadar reports that Windows 11 users can now customise the right-click context menu through a new update. The feature, currently available as an optional preview release, will be included in the full November patch. Users can remove Windows commands they do not want, add app extensions, and rearrange elements such as moving Properties to the bottom of the menu.

Microsoft states that the redesigned menu 'opens more quickly, reduces clutter, and gives you more control over the commands and app extensions that appear when you right-click'. The customisation settings also allow users to integrate the top panel functions—cut, paste, rename and similar options—directly into the context menu in a Windows 10 style layout.
