Right Click / File Explorer Context Menu

One of the most noticeable changes in Windows 11 is the re-design of the Right Click Context Menu - particularly within the context of interacting with files and folders within File Explorer.

Primarily of note is the that many of the most common options like Copy, Paste, Rename, and Delete (all shown in order at the top of the image below) have been changed to icons at the top of the context menu rather than text options and that many of the previously immediately available context options are now hidden behind a "Show More Options" button.

Clicking Show more options at the bottom or holding Shift + Right Click will open another context menu more closely reminiscent of past versions of Windows with additional options:

Both of these windows contents are context dependent. For example, right clicking an image will provide a different set of options than right clicking a file, as shown in the first image above.
