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 was in the Apple ecosystem for 5 years and switched to Windows with the advent of Windows 10. After Microsoft's idiotic update of File Explorer, I'm considering switching back! If you've never seen the movie "Idiocracy" you should watch it to prepare yourself for the future!

If you want Microsoft to hear your concerns use the Feedback Hub. That's what it's there for.
People have been leaving feedback for years regarding a tabbed interface in File Explorer, as well as other features. Obviously, Microsoft does not listen to their customers!
"I find it incomprehensible that Microsoft would put all the most used choices, such as copy, paste, and rename, behind that "more choices" button."
No need to open "More choices", Cut, Copy and Paste are in top of context menu.
Same functions are also in top of File explorer.

Hey, thanks Pauli! Right you are. Just look at the top. In fact, even the "rename" option appears, after pasting the file to a new folder. Makes a big difference to know this.
Not sure why the change, but hey.
