What you oughta know
Microsoft released Windows 11 Build 23481 to the Dev Channel yesterday.
The company will also take several legacy File Explorer options out of its operating system.

It also noted that the options will continue to be available through registry keys.
“Are you kidding me?
Those legacy options are super important!

Why remove options based on telemetry where majority of users are not power users?
I thought windows 11 was for productivity?
That change should never go into production.”

Microsoft’s phrasing describing the change seems definitive, but the company could always change its plans.
The Insider Program is an avenue to receive feedback from users after all.
Amajor redesign for the File Exploreris also in the works.

Microsoft showed off the revamped File Explorer on Windows 11 during Build 2023.
