Windows 11 File Explorer to See Performance and Ergonomic Improvements
Microsoft is rolling out updates to Windows 11’s File Explorer focused on both speed and usability. A key change involves streamlining the right-click context menu, consolidating file management options under a single section to reduce scrolling and improve access to frequently used functions. This represents a renewed focus on ergonomics following interface challenges experienced last summer.
Currently,these optimizations are being tested by users in the Windows Insider program,with a wider public release planned for early 2026. Microsoft is also accelerating archive management and consistently delivering fixes, signaling a commitment to improving overall performance – a critical factor in user satisfaction. The effectiveness of these speed improvements will be evaluated once the update is broadly available.
