Windows 11 File Explorer Ribbon
Hello to whom it may concern The 22H2 has updated the file explorer ribbon and the print queue display in the lower right hand corner of the screen (by the time) when printing. Before the update w...
Chiming in to complain about the Windows 11 File Explorer options. I just set up a Windows 11 computer for my elderly parents (moving from Windows 8.1), and was horrified that it is so hard to find the Print option in File Explorer! That's a basic function. Why is there no printer icon or Print option on the ribbon at the top? I thought people were more conscious of accessibility and ease of use these days. People who have just basic computer skills and/or have difficulty with change are going to really struggle. One of the main things my parents do on their computer is print photos from File Explorer. I was shocked there is no icon or word for Print on the ribbon, and not even under the "see more" three dots! Microsoft, PLEASE un-bury a basic function like Print! I can't imagine why someone thought it was a good idea to bury it in the second menu after a right click. When looking at thumbnails or list, the only way I can find to access Print is to right-click on an image, then select More Options, then select Print. When in photo preview mode, Print can be found under the "see more" three dots (still don't understand why there isn't a printer icon), but from there you can only print the current photo (not choose multiples). Printing photos from File Explorer shouldn't be so hard!
- Such is the arrogance of Microsoft. Try https://www.startallback.com/ , it is a workaround and there is a small cost but it does work. Takes the stress away until the tsars come to their senses. Good luck.
In file explorer for printing there is right click and look for printing or open the image with an image program and any image program has the option to print! I use for example and I really like Picasa 3.9 that you can find in Google!
