Microsoft is releasing a preview update for Windows 11 that addresses user complaints about the right-click menu by allowing customization. The update, KB5127936, enables users to control which commands appear, rearrange items, and manage third-party extensions. This comes as Microsoft's PC revenue from Windows licenses has declined. The preview also introduces Cloud Rebuild, a recovery option that allows users to reinstall Windows 11 directly from the cloud using Windows Update, without needing external media. This feature functions as a fresh install, not including existing applications and files.
