It's possible to unclutter the normal menu, and the nested menu always requires extra clicks, and additionally - all the options I ever use are always in that new submenu.
The whole argument is bogus anyhow - if win11 wanted to avoid orphaned context menu registrations, then it makes sense to tie those to installed programs. However, that has nothing to do what's nested and what's not.
Yes, windows should likely make it easier to declutter the contextmenu, and yes, that may require a new api. But the new interface is still a really poor choice even assuming those are givens.
- lostmsu 4y agoThe items are not orphaned. They are simply useless for me. Your judgement comes from a wrong assumption.
- emn13 4y agoNo it doesn't; it comes from _my_ judgement. The fact that you actually use those items and appreciate hiding the other ones behind an extra click is fine, but it's purely a usability regression for me. If I could exactly reverse the distribution between what's nested and what's not, I'd be happier. I'm curious which options in the new context menu you actually use most often? Clearly your usage is quite different from mine.
