The design of the new Windows 11 right-click menu is currently in the testing phase on the Dev channel for Insider users. It's currently unclear when the update will be rolled out to all users; there's a high likelihood that the new Windows 11 contextual menu will be included in the 22H2 update, scheduled for release in October 2022.
Furthermore, the latest build also brings significant changes to the modern contextual menu that users have been anticipating. With the future release of Windows 11, users can expect performance improvements for both the right-click menu and Explorer.exe.
In addition, Microsoft is planning to address errors caused by File Explorer and the Taskbar. These enhancements will be packaged in the upcoming Patch Tuesday release.
