Now, I&#8217;m not a fan of looking backward, I tend to want to get used to the new and move on from the old. But Windows 11 did away with, among other things, the File Explorer ribbon, starting Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar, and full right-click context menus. In Windows 11, when you right-click on a file or folder, you get a truncated context menu. Then you have to click &#8220;Show more options&#8221; to see the full context menu which doesn&#8217;t make much sense to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
