alt Hacker NewsI know it's subjective, but I care less about the tabs and more about the missing right click options. I'm also annoyed that 11's explorer uses literally double the memory to perform the same function with less options.
I know you can add the missing right click options back. I just shouldn't have to.

the stupid right click menu is a single registry key (and i think it's also in settings now), but yah dumb new defaults.
Just to double check... I loaded the same folder in Windows 10 IOT LTSC and Windows 11 Pro retail. Explorer.exe used ~500Mb peak working memory. In Windows 10 it was less than 200Mb. In windows 10 it also loaded about 2x faster, despite the system I'm using being objectively worse hardware in every single measurable way.
With Windows 11 you get less, and pay more.
