What happened to the "Copy To" option in Windows 11 File Explorer?

I can't believe that Microsoft removed the "Copy To" and "Move To" options in Windows 11 File Explorer! I used these options often! Unless I'm missing something, Microsoft just heavy handedly removed these options!

    Well Ctrl-c, Ctrl-V still work and as someone mentioned the commands for cut/copy/paste are in the top context menu.

    still not **** easy as Right-Click, copy, paste clicks.

    overall part of the "moving to tablets" thing I guess.. which sucks for me and all touch typists.

    Yes, and the question is why did Microsoft decide to "fix" something that was not broken. Saving my files has become a tedious process compared to pre-Windows 11. I thought they might respond to the negative feedback and offer an update to restore previous file saving options. I guess when you are a monopoly, it doesn't matter what people think.

    billions of people are using crapy windows software. The newer the version, the worst the changes and less convenient. I think MS are good at creating problems for users so they can keep update and make the software valuable.. I feedback via many channels but seems useless. MS 365 and Teams are all very messy
