  1. Right-click menu sometimes missing Rename and other top buttons


    Sometimes when I right-click a file in Windows 11, the usual top row Cut, Copy, Rename, Share, Delete is gone. Instead, Open shows up as the first item, and there’s no Rename option at all. It happens more when the file’s near the top of the screen. I also have a lot of third-party entries in the context menu PDF tools, antivirus, archive apps, so maybe that’s related? Anyone know what’s causing this — or how to fix it?

    :)

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

    Right-click menu sometimes missing Rename and other top buttons

    Paul Thurrott: Here are the Top User Requests for Windows


    You can add / change it or whatever but try and get the size of text bigger even if you make the other stuff HUGE

    For example - screenshots enc

    I'd like the Start menu text to be the same size as the text when you RIGHT MOUSE click on the start (windows) button.

    Cheers
