To be fair, win11 is a nightmare in terms of usability. I can only assume a committee of eldritch beings and accountants designed it. It blows my mind that when right-clicking on a file in file explorer, the 'delete' option is hidden in a sub-menu under 'more options'.

Are you sure about that? Look for the trashcan symbol on the upper-right of the context menu. I agree that having "more options" to begin with was a jarring experience coming from windows 10 though.

  Except for when the placement of the icon strip with the trashcan symbol changes to the bottom of the context menu because of the location of the context menu on the screen. Bonkers. No idea why the UI committee would’ve okayed that one.

    Oh that's so weird :\

    You're right. I just checked. That's odd.

It's deliberate. It's the good-bad-good-bad release cycle Microsoft insists on. Windows 12 will be decent, then 13 will be horrible again.

  Ah, so it's like Star Trek movies.

Yeah the new context menu is horrible. Fortunately it can be set back to classic, I think with a registry edit

I just tested it. It's in the first row, last item. [Cut | Copy | Rename | Share | DELETE ] Out of old habit I always use shift + DEL key and did not notice it's in the top row now.

  As someone who stopped using windows about 7 years ago, and only recently used it last weekend, my eyes probably glossed over the fact that some buttons were laid out horizontally. It also makes way more sense.

I was fully braced for Windows 11 being awful when I installed it recently but that hasn't been my experience at all. If anything it's just a slightly more polished Windows 10. Probably helps that I installed the IoT LTSC version, but still, apart from the task bar being stupidly in the middle (thankfully there's an option to move it to the left), I've had zero issues. I even added a network printer and it found it quickly, and added it quickly and successfully, which is a feat I don't think I've seen happen on any OS ever. The context menu is a clear improvement on the old one (which you can still get to with one click).

Windows 11 can be usable if you run this debloat script [1]. Of course, with every update it's a constant game of cat and mouse. 1) https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
