WINDOWS 11–UPDATE 1 – Right Click Menu

Note 1  I will complete new posts when I come across something of interest with Win 11, rather than add to the original post.

Note 2 My Surface Pro 7 was updated to Win 11 this morning.

RIGHT CLICK

The menu for a right mouse click has changed.

This is the old Win 10 Right Click menu:

This is the new Win 11 menu:

OR With the new icons on top

NOTE!  If you click  “Show More Options” you get the old menu

The difference is the use of icons for cut/paste etc.

Hover your mouse over the icon to get the description.

However they are mostly self explanatory. From left to right:

  • Scissors –  Cut (Naturally)
  • Two rectangles that look like 2 pages on top of each other – Copy
  • The third one had be stumped – Rename
  • Arrow thingy – Share (I guessed that)
  • Waste paper basket – Delete (Naturally)

It took me about 2 seconds to work them out apart from the rename icon. I had to hover the mouse to find out what it was.

AND when you cut or copy, an icon comes up later for paste.
