Here's a first look at a major Windows 11 context menu update with improved performance, customization, and stability. [The new menu](https://winaero.com/a-first-look-at-the-customizable-context-menu-in-windows-11/) includes a "Customize" entry linking to Settings, allowing users to toggle actions like "Send," "Print," "Create Shortcut," "Copy as Path," and "Rotate Image." Third-party and cloud storage options can be grouped separately or disabled. 

Users can also re-arrange commands, restoring the vertical layout for "Cut," "Copy," and "Paste" instead of the default horizontal bar. 

Most optional actions are disabled by default to ensure speed and stability; hidden items can be manually enabled on a new dedicated page in Settings. The legacy full menu remains [accessible via a Registry tweak](https://winaero.com/a-first-look-at-the-customizable-context-menu-in-windows-11/), though a toggle still is not implemented anywhere in the GUI. Microsoft plans to unveil this update soon.
