Windows is finally fixing a key File Explorer flaw

From PC World: It only took three years, but Microsoft is finally fixing one of its annoyances in Windows 11’s File Explorer.

The “show more options” double menu? No, unfortunately not. But Microsoft is at least adding explanatory labels to the icons within File Explorer, now describing what they do rather than forcing you to parse them like some unknown hieroglyphs.

Microsoft released Build 26058 in the Windows 11 Canary and Dev Channels on Wednesday, meaning that, technically, you may never see this change released to your PC. Fingers crossed! Other features being added include a change to the Widgets menu, a change to the lock screen, and some accessibility improvements.

Microsoft is also testing tweaks to the Widgets board. If you miss a notification within Widgets (do people really look for notifications within Widgets?) you’ll see a small badge on the Taskbar. It’s not clear how that’s new, given that my Taskbar has a small badge on it right now.
