"Microsoft is making some changes to the File Explorer in Windows 11 that will make it less cluttered and launch faster. The latest Dev preview builds of Windows 11 include File Explorer preloading "to help improve File Explorer launch performance," and changes to the context menu to reduce the amount of space less commonly used actions take up. The preloading of File Explorer should hopefully mean Microsoft's file and folder management tool launches faster on systems where performance is constrained."
"The File Explorer context menu changes will be welcome ones across fast and sluggish PCs. Microsoft is reducing the clutter in the context menu by moving actions that are rarely used into sub menus. There's a new manage file flyout that includes compressing files into a ZIP, copy as a path, set as desktop background, and rotate right or left. Cloud file options have also been moved into a separate cloud provider flyout, where you'll also find Send to My Phone."
Windows 11 Dev preview builds add File Explorer preloading to help improve launch performance on lower-powered devices. Users can disable File Explorer preloading so the process does not run continuously in the background. The update reorganizes the File Explorer context menu by moving rarely used actions into submenus to reduce clutter. A new Manage File flyout groups actions such as compressing files into ZIP, Copy as Path, Set as Desktop Background, and Rotate Right/Left. Cloud-related options are placed in a separate Cloud Provider flyout that also contains Send to My Phone. Microsoft plans to roll these changes out to all Windows 11 users in early 2026.
