Microsoft is rolling out a Windows 11 preview update (KB5127936) that addresses long-standing power-user complaints about the right-click context menu by adding a 'customize menu' button for toggling and rearranging commands. The update, aimed at versions 26H2 and 25H2, also introduces a cloud-based recovery feature called Cloud Rebuild, coming as Microsoft reports continued declines in Windows license sales for new PCs.
Background
Windows 11's redesigned right-click menu has faced persistent criticism from power users for hiding familiar commands and disrupting muscle memory. This preview update attempts to rectify that while Microsoft faces ongoing pressure in its PC software sales.
