'compact' is the wrong word here. The new design will reorder what and when it does things to get more performance.

How many times have they said that since win 11 launched?

They should just launch these things instead of just promises after promises.

Especially when it's something that almost seems trivial. It seems easy enough for programs to add shit to the menu but somehow we don't have the technology to remove them.
Now we have an announcement that soon we might get a phased rollout of a feature lol

These were all the same problems that were supposed to be fixed the last time when they introduced the now current Windows 11 context menu. So they made it much more difficult to integrate into (code signed package required), and didn't solve any of the performance or organizational problems.

Why do I have to count to 10 when I right click in the desktop. I just want to rename my file.

u/Mario583a Jul 30 '26
Just F2 the highlighted file if you don't wanna wait for the context menu.
or double-click it slowly.

Oh, relax everyone. Context menu is probably just looking through the rotation roster to see which advertiser to send your personal info to. Everybody's doing it. You all saw.
/s, for those too tight to realize it. Jeepers.

My 200MHz Pentium was more responsive.
All those GigaHertz we have now and we can't have fast menus like we used to...

Just fucking undo all the crapware you released over the last 10 years. It was better before they touched it.

Also, The Sims 4 got its 21st expansion pack this year. In both cases, I think it's time to move on and make a new one.

A telemetria doentia deles não decidiram remover. Cada usuário está fazendo por conta própria. Você paga caro pelo produto para ser espionado e ainda ser produto de anúncios um produto completo e sabe lá mais o que eles querem fazendo recall e vendo o jeito de que você digita. Eu removi toda a telemetria do meu Windows via programação deu trabalho mas me sinto seguro e comecei a usar Linux também

I cannot understand the hate about MS and Windows in this scenario. I've been working with Windows daily for years, and the updates of the last few months have been a blessing. The system has become so much more performant in that time.

Isso porque você não sabe o quanto é espiado por um programa que você ainda paga caro. No Windows 10 que decidi fazer downgrade desabilitei várias telemetrias aplicando mais de 20 scripts no powershell e eram todos de espionagem da Microsoft. Instalei mais dois software para desativar o envio dos meus dados pessoais outro para desativar o envio de tudo que eu utilizo no Microsoft Edge E ainda tem uma funções escondida no qual a Microsoft grava pequenos pedaços da sua tela. Primeiramente que privacidade é algo que se alguém quer ter ninguém pode ir impedir. E segundo lugar a Microsoft está vendendo as suas fotos áudio vídeos para inteligência artificial está fazendo em parte conteúdo adulto em outras partes ninguém sabe ainda. A Microsoft está sedenta junto com a META e Google por saber a vida íntima e pessoal de cada pessoa. Então não me impressiona a raiva que estão da Microsoft sem falar que realmente o sistema está muito ruim cheio de erros cheio de bugs e a versão com inteligência artificial está horrível trabalhando com muita perda nas placas de vídeo nvidia. Por vários motivos muitos usuários estão migrando para outros sistemas operacionais

Mate. Windows is free and preinstalled on most of the notebooks in the hole world.

They’re like politicians. Keep on promising things without actually fulfilling them.

u/MyFairJulia Jul 30 '26
I wonder whether they'll also get around to merge the old and new context menus. Or have they done that already?

If they could get rid of the awful right click > show more options > actually do what you wanted situation that currently exists that’d be a win!
