Windows 11 has brought about many changes, including an updated context menu that many seem to be struggling to adapt to. This is because Microsoft has designed the context menu to fit the overall interface of Windows 11 with rounded corners and the main menu you see after right-clicking anywhere only showing you the most essential options.

Everything else has been grouped under Show more options, making it more time-consuming to find some commands compared to Windows 10. Installed apps like 7-Zip, Notepad++, and WinRAR have also been moved to the Show more options category.

However, the latest update of WinRAR, specifically version 6.10 beta, has brought all items in the context menu out onto the main screen, thus making it easier for users to work with compressed files. There's now a new WinRAR group in the context menu, and you won't need to click on the Show more options item to access the commands you need anymore.
This is a significant step forward for WinRAR, and many developers may follow suit and update their applications. Windows 11 is still relatively new, so developers may still need time to leverage the new context menu.
Microsoft has announced that the release of Windows 11 is scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2022, so it's clear the company is taking the time to ensure that all existing computers are accurately updated to the new operating system.
