Windows 11 is now letting you choose what appears in the right-click menu and making it faster. It's also removing bloat

Not believing one thing about windows 11 until I see it. For all I care they could say they are making their next one a Linux distro and I still won't celebrate until I see them do it. They've lied too much and their best talent has left or been let go. I have negative trust in their company.

Headline is “choose what’s in context menu”

First screenshot shows “Ask Copilot” in a context menu

Second screenshot is customization of the menu showing you are stuck with Copilot anyway.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

"You can have any context menu option you want, so long as it's Copilot"- Satya Nadella

Also, Henry Ford (whose quote this is a parody of) was a literal Nazi, and Satya Nadella isn't much better

Hoping that is not an option if you don't have Copilot installed.

Are they still trying to shove Copilot and Recall down our throats? If so, they can get fucked.

OK but when can we use this in production? Is it a major version , or a KB upgrade?

jasoman@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 16d

yeah that is my issue, hoping it is already in the insider build.

They see the problem and are fixing it. Nice.

JigglySackles@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 16d

For now. Once they pull in sufficient numbers from 10 they will unfix it.

Do we need Winblows news posted here regularly?
I personally don't think so but please share if you disagree with me.

I found it here first so there is that.

What's wrong with it? It's PC related.
