Windows 11 problems with the context menu

After the release of Windows 11 on October 5, several well-known problems followed, which are mainly related to the printing service.

Microsoft has confirmed and is offering a fix for performance issues observed on devices AMD running the latest version of Windows 11. The update though does not seem to fix the problems. In addition, Microsoft has confirmed reports of high memory usage caused by Explorer.exe (File Explorer).

But it seems that Windows 11 has another bug that slows down the performance of the context menu. This error seems to be related to changes made to File Explorer (File Explorer) and in the context menu. According to the company, a patch has been developed and is currently being tested with Insiders.

In Windows 10 and earlier versions, the context menu was extremely large which affected its overall performance s. The context menu has a bunch of options that are never used by most users and cause performance issues when running from Explorer.

Microsoft has created a new context menu in Windows 11, and the most important or frequently used options now appear at the top of the menu. However, the new Windows 11 context menu brings new errors affecting performance.

"There is a 1/2 second delay in most cases, but sometimes you can see it start to open and then flicker as it has to resize to display the options," says one user at Feedback Hub.

"Opening the context menu is slow and after opening, about half way through they try to open for a few seconds. The old menu that had twice as many items, at least loaded instantly," says another user.

The modern context menu, which reportedly works very well on touch devices, causes lag when you right-click anywhere on the or in File Explorer.

Microsoft has confirmed that it is preparing performance improvements to the context menu, and Build 22478 includes a change to this theme.

Wait until it's released, and then let's hope it fixes it .
