    Explorer on windows 11 has gotten better in a lot of ways and only worse in a few.

        Tabs? That’s pretty major.

        Also that right click menu is lighters faster than the old school menu. Every application and their mother wants to add shit to the right click menu and it would lag out to the point it would take 10 seconds to open. The new one doesn’t have that issue anymore.

          Uh… The new one literally takes a couple of seconds to remember that OneDrive and Notepad++ exist when I use it on my work PC, all while entries towards the bottom keep shifting around.

          It’s completely unusable.

            Fast on my machine even with NP++. It did slow it down a smidge though when 4 things got added.

            Maybe it’s just OneDrive being a piece of shit? I don’t have it in my right click menu for some raisin.

              Might be, tbh. I never noticed it on my Surface, which has OneDrive disabled, but I used that one was less. Or maybe it’s some other garbage on the corporate laptop causing issues (like Trellix).

              Now you made me want to investigate.

          It still has the old annoying bug where the entire explorer.exe crashes if your mouse cursor gets anywhere near a network drive that can’t be reached. Accidentally hover over its icon in the left sidebar, and explorer just freezes up unrecoverably. I guess the technology to safely handle hovering over the icon of a disconnected drive is just not there yet.

            I have honestly no idea how microsoft still hasn’t fixed that issue. Granted I’ve never had it crash from waiting for a directory to respond, it just waits the full 1 minute for the packet to die before coming back.

            Also can’t say I’ve had it happen for stuff pinned to the side bar, only when typing it in, or clicking on a mapped directory on the “this pc”

          if you don’t install all the garbage of the internet, that’s not a problem. it can also be cleaned up, even without regedit.

            I rather like having the context there in the submenu. it’s one more click. but it’s fast, and I don’t need to tag this mp3 every time I right click->open with, but I do miss it if I don’t have that option anywhere. And they made it optional.

        Split view, tabs, drag and drop to the addressbar. The ui looks cleaner compared to win 10.

        Negative is that one drive got even more embedded and they fucked up the right click menu.
