Microsoft is preparing another cumulative update for Windows 11, which will focus on solving several bugs in the new system. For Beta and Release Preview channel Windows Insider project members, Microsoft is testing Windows 11 Build 22000.346, repairing the file explorer, new notification center, etc.
Windows 11 File Explorer has errors on some devices. For example, when the right-click menu is opened, the chronic performance will be reduced. In addition, users have reported that when users right-click a file or folder on the file explorer window or desktop, the right-click menu lags behind.
In Windows 11, Microsoft has changed the design of the right-click menu to solve long-term performance problems and prioritize commonly used options such as copy, cut, and rename. Unfortunately, this action has caused various problems related to the right-click menu, and it seems to have affected the reliability of the entire operating system.

Fortunately, the right-click menu will be fixed in a future version, and Microsoft is also working on other bug fixes for Explorer. Windows 11 Build 22000.346, can now be used in Beta/Release Preview, and finally fixed a bug that affected the file explorer and desktop right-click menu applications that depend on the shortcut tab of the right-click menu. Another error that caused File Explorer to stop working after you close the window has been fixed.
In addition to File Explorer, Build 22000.346 also contains bug fixes in other areas of the operating system, including the Windows Update history page in the settings application. For the taskbar, there is only one bug fix, which will cause flickering when you hover over the icon in the taskbar.
