When using Alt+Tab is there any way to make the "selected window" line, a bit bolder or noticeable? its hard to see which one is the selected one.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

I know you can change the color of the outline, but I'm not certain about a way to change the thickness.

The color can be changed from Settings > Personalization > Color > Accent Color.

    The menu that now requires "more options" to be selected in order to get to "New >"

    No it doesn't.

    Thanks Shawn, your pic above is not what I see when I click settings, but what's below. For some reason I'm supposed to guess that to find anything that's not a system setting, is under the three lines top left. How was I supposed to guess this? I've wasted so much time thanks to stupid software downgrade.

    Also now when I want to create a sub folder in explorer, to get the "old" menu that has EVERYTHING, I need to right click then select "Show more options", at which point I get the menu that has everything, that I used to get from just right one click - right there where I could see it, without needing to read every menu option to try and work out where the hell it had gone.

    What are MS playing at - who thinks it's a good idea to start hiding stuff, making things harder to find, harder to read and adding more clicks. This new windows downgrade absolutely sucks.

    You state "Also now when I want to create a sub folder in explorer, to get the "old" menu that has EVERYTHING".

    Please DO NOT initiate a new topic in a thread. Start your own new thread. This one is about the ALT-TAB feature, not the explorer menu.

    Shift right click and right click on a folder give identical results in file explorer.

    I really appreciate the larger cleaner fonts, and that all the normal cut/copy/paste/share/delete are always immediately next to your mouse pointer when you right-click since they are the most frequently used things, it'll even show that on the bottom if that's closer to your pointer when you click.

    For most typical people it's very rare to need it, but you can pop open the full menu immediately if you hold shift when you right-click. It has many of the same options (green), and many of the ones that are not there are deprecated or redundant. The new option also provides for the possibility that you might use other services besides OneDrive, so you can use your chosen service (or none at all) without 8-16 menu options for them all piling up in this mess:

    That Shift+Right-click thing isn't new though. We've had the "get additional options if you hold shift while right-clicking" for decades now. Windows 11 is just the first one to make it visible to see, before you had to just know the secret of holding Shift.

    If there's an option in there that you really use, send them feedback about it. You never said which one you are having to go to extra lengths for but they do want your feedback so they can address it.

    They also have a wonderful write-up about the new context menu on their blog post about it. It's not just change for change sake, it addresses real issues.
