Microsoft is speeding up and decluttering File Explorer in Windows 11

Recently, I’ve noticed that Microsoft is making File Explorer in Windows 11 faster and more streamlined, which is causing some features and options to be hidden or simplified. This decluttering seems to improve overall speed but makes it more difficult to access certain settings or functionalities that were more visible in previous versions, and I’m concerned that this change might limit the customization and control I previously had over File Explorer.

    Many users share concerns that these changes, although beneficial for simplicity and efficiency, might compromise the level of control and flexibility they previously enjoyed, making it harder to access specific settings or customize the experience to suit individual needs.
