Extending the Context Menu and Share Dialog in Windows 11

2021-07-20 KENNETH 0

Extending the Context Menu and Share Dialog in Windows 11 Windows 11 brings refinement to contextual file operations in the right-click context menu and share dialog. These are extensible by apps, including unpackaged Win32 apps.  The context menu is one of the most popular and useful shell extensions. If you are already in File Explorer or on the Desktop, it significantly reduces the number of steps to complete a file operation compared to opening a separate app. As useful as the Windows 10 context menu is, there are aspects of its design we sought to improve in Windows 11. The most common commands – cut, copy, paste, delete, and rename – are far from the mouse pointer, touch point, or pen. The menu is exceptionally long. It has grown in an unregulated environment for 20 years, since Windows XP, when [ more… ]

Easier browser debugging with Developer Tools integration in Visual Studio Code If you’re debugging JavaScript in Visual Studio Code you probably have used either the Chrome Debugger or the Microsoft Edge Debugger extension. Neither are necessary any longer to debug as JavaScript debugging is now built-in to Visual Studio Code. This does not only mean that you can uninstall these extensions, but we also made debugging more convenient. To debug any project in either Chrome or Microsoft Edge, all you need to do is to start a session by pressing F5 or activating the debug icon in the menu bar and selecting “Run and debug”. Alternatively, you can also use the Visual Studio Code command palette and run the “Debug: Open Link” command. From there on you can choose to debug in Chrome, Edge or Node.js without having to install [ more… ]

Releasing Windows 10 Build 19043.1147 (21H1) to Release Preview Channel Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing 21H1 Build 19043.1147 (KB5004296) to the Release Preview Channel for those Insiders who are on 21H1. NOTE: Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel on 21H1 will not receive this update. We will be flighting Windows 11 Insider Preview builds to these Insiders soon!

As a result, searchindexer stops working and duplicate profile names are created. We fixed an issue that prevents gaming services from opening certain games for desktop users. We fixed an issue that prevents you from entering text using the Input Method Editor (IME). This might occur, for example, after [ more… ]
