You can actually restore the old right-click menu on W11 with some regedit. Not ideal in any way, and a setting would have been a much better way to toggle this

Not ideal in any way, and a setting would have been a much better way to toggle this, but it is an option.
- brazzy 7mo agoThe problem is that the old righ-click menu is ALSO much slower on Windows 11. Shows a fucking spinner for half a second before the menu appears.
- reef_sh 7mo agoI've found that ( at least for me ) that was caused by some entries doing some checks before showing up. Getting a context menu editor and removing some of them can help.
- brazzy 7mo agoDoesn't matter, it's a shit user experience and Microsoft's fault for putting the onus on the user to fiddle around at that level, rather than putting a hard, very low limit on how long shell extensions can hold up the context menu before they're banned from it.
- reef_sh 7mo agoOh, I'm not trying to defend Microsoft in any way. Everything they make has been going downhill faster and faster. Just suggesting a possible way to work around it.
- justsomehnguy 7mo ago> rather than putting a hard, very low limit on how long shell extensions can hold up the context menu before they're banned from it. Do you want the users to blame Microsoft, all Microsoft employees including catering and cleaning workers, and Gates personally? This is how you make the users blame all the before mentioned but not the culprit.
- OoooooooO 7mo agoYou can't edit the registry without admin rights which you don't have on a work laptop.
- reef_sh 7mo agoYeah that's a fair point.
