About this tag
The tag 'explorer performance' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the speed and responsiveness of Windows File Explorer and the shell interface, particularly the context (right-click) menu. Recent threads highlight Microsoft's acknowledgment that Windows 11's modern right-click menu can load slowly due to late-arriving extensions from apps like Clipchamp, Notepad, and Copilot, which shift items under the pointer. Microsoft is reworking context menus to be faster, simpler, and configurable, addressing user frustration that a cleaner design should not come at the cost of friction. A January 2026 preview update (KB5074105) also includes stability fixes relevant to explorer performance. The tag focuses on real-world troubleshooting and Microsoft's ongoing improvements to the Windows 11 shell experience.
