Before knowing, was complained for many years
Microsoft is preparing to improve Windows 11's Context Menu to be faster, simpler, and customizable to users' needs after the feature has been under constant criticism since its release.
.
Marcus Ash, Vice President of Design and Research at Windows and Devices at Microsoft, revealed through X that the team is developing Context Menu to have three key highlights: work faster, simplify menus in the default format, and be able to customize more in line with each person's usage.
.
Although Microsoft has not yet released all the details, the term "Configurable" or "Customizable" is an interesting point. Because at present, Windows 11's right-click menu often contains a large list of commands from various programs. As a result, the menu is cluttered and sometimes inconvenient to use. Not many users expect the new system to allow them to handle or hide unnecessary commands manually.
.
Back when Windows 11 launched, Microsoft redesigned the Context Menu to look cleaner and more modern, but it upset some users because many commands were hidden behind the "Show more options" menu, requiring one more step to click to access the desired function.
.
This update therefore reflects that Microsoft is increasingly focusing on the basic Windows 11 user experience, especially features that users need to use on a daily basis; however, the company has yet to specify a firm timeline for when to start testing or releasing the feature to casual users.
