Will File Managers, similarly to Start replacement applications on Windows 10, make a comeback on Windows 11 as a consequence?
Windows 11 sucks full#
Having to juggle between the simple new menu and the full menu that needs to be spawned from the simple menu or by using a keyboard shortcut, is impacting usability significantly. Besides the stripped down main toolbar menu that hides many of the options in sub-sub-menus, it is the dual-windowed right-click context menu that needs to be mentioned specifically. Closing Wordsįile Explorer on Windows 11 has serious usability issues. Restore previous version, pin to taskbar, create shortcut, or give access to are only displayed in that menu, and not the simple one. Some native options are also only displayed in the classic menu.

Want to zip files quickly using a program such as 7-Zip, WinRar or PeaZip? Then you need to right-click the selection, select show more options, and then select the archive options of the program that you installed. Maybe it is required to adjust the installer to make that happen, but at least in the preview builds, all third-party context menus are displayed only when you open the classic menu using "show more options".

First, if you install third-party applications that add their own items to the context menu, then you will notice that these are not displayed in the new menu. The classic menu is then displayed in all its glory and with all the missing options of the new File Explorer menu. Microsoft did not remove the classic menu entirely though, as it is spawned when you activate the "show more options" link or press Shift-F10. Some context menu options are displayed only if the right file type is selected, but core options are missing from the menu. It is as streamlined as the new toolbar in File Explorer, and when you compare it to the right-click menu of Windows 10's File Explorer, you will notice that a lot of options are missing. Microsoft developed a new right-click menu design and layout. The main usability issue becomes apparent when you right-click on items.
Microsoft has probably analyzed data that it has on File Explorer usage and removed options that were not used a lot. The new toolbar is not the main usability issue though. in the properties window when it is opened, or when right-clicking on column headers to add or remove columns. I simply can’t agree, and I think there will be a lot of frustrated users on launch day who want the new shiny thing, and won’t be able to get it because of one stupid setting.Some of these may be available elsewhere, e.g. In the video, which you will not want to sit through, the company says “we know it sucks that some aren’t going to be eligible for Windows 11” and then explains why it’s actually a good thing. It’s a good thing, although I still don’t think drive encryption needs to rely on a user account.
This encrypts all the data and means that if your laptop or desktop is stolen, it will be very hard for anyone to access the data. If you do so, and you will, Microsoft can enable Bitlocker on your boot drive. That’s what Microsoft wants, because honestly the user account thing is to drive more custom to its Microsoft Store for apps, at least, that’s my theory.Īgain though, there are still arguments for using a Windows account. Again though, this will require home users to mess about with settings and I just can’t see them being bothered to do it. I’ve been assured that while this is a setup requirement for Windows 11, you can opt to simply use a local account if you’d prefer. Also on the list of things that Microsoft is being annoying about is the requirement for Home users to have a Microsoft account.
