    No "Open file location" menu option


    I downloaded and installed an app from the Microsoft App Store. I have no clue where Microsoft installed this app. All I have is a shortcut. If I right click on the shortcut, the "open file location" menu item is missing. I don't like not knowing where my files are located. How can I find out where Microsoft installed the app?

    :)

    'Open in new window' right-click menu option for File Explorer


    I just submitted this suggestion on Windows Uservoice:

    The idea: the right-click menu for folders in File Explorer has an option called 'Open in new window', which opens that folder in a new File Explorer window. Very useful for copying and moving things, and opening destination folders without accessing the start menu a second time.

    'Open in new window' right-click menu option for File Explorer


    Is this a weird joke/troll?

    That feature has been in Explorer since at least Windows 7...

    No "Open file location" menu option

    Open file location is missing in pinned apps


    Yes. This is the one. Weirdly it now shows all the recent files after update. Maybe that has something to do with it. I did not do anything at all.

    Thank you again. I guess the problem is solved.
