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!

    I agree. I think MS has become so huge that it doesn't really care what its customers think, say or post. For example, why are Copy to and Move to not supported in the new File Explorer? And when people express their displeasure with the change why does MS refuse to listen and issue an update with a change?

    The "copy" icon doesn't produce anything.

    NOT at all happy that we have to fool around with things like this. I just installed Windows 11 and from the god awful Start menu now to the entire menu part file explorer - well this version sucks.

    Copy To was so EASY and now I have flip back and forth.

    That option and many more are part of the list of over 200 tweaks available in UWT5. available in iUltimate Windows Tweaker 5 for Windows 11 from the Windows club. Add to this Winaero featuresof the Winaero Tweaker

    Without demeaning the tremendous OS advances in MS OS versions over the years, that Microsoft removed the "Copy To" and "Move To" options in Windows 11 File Explorer is not surprising, though not as restrictive as the removal of the scope of appearance options in XP. However, whenever faced with desired options (and many you never though of) then often one can find these provided thru reputable software (though for some I would advise looking for the actual download link from a source as MajorGeeks.com). Thank God for all such helps, to be used for accordingly.
