About this tag
Contextual commands in Windows 11 refer to the actions available in the right-click context menu and share dialog, which are designed to streamline file operations. These commands include common tasks like cut, copy, paste, delete, and rename, and can be extended by apps, including unpackaged Win32 applications.

This tag covers discussions on extending and customizing these contextual commands for better efficiency.
