Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

Look into cleaning up your context menu shell extensions: just a single bad one will freeze your context menu exactly how you described it.

    Unfortunately, I have literally zero control over what's installed on my computer at work

    Do you have access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the registry? You can usually edit this even without admin rights.

    I went back to the old Win10 right click menu by this method on my work PC, which sped things up substantially

    I actually have a batch script (might be a powershell script?) with this and some other stuff in it for when I'm doing a fresh install on my pc.

    My work pc is locked the fuck down though, I can't even change my wallpaper or the color of the taskbar lol.
