Beyond aesthetics, Windows 11 and Windows 10 have slightly different click responses. This is not surprising since every Windows update comes with its own new features.
Why is Microsoft adjusting the right-click context menu?
The simple answer to this is that Microsoft is trying to achieve the best aesthetics in Windows 11 while improving performance.
The new context menu is designed to provide fewer options that are generally useful to users. Other options such as "Open" and "Open with" are grouped together.
