You highlight something in Edge and release your finger from the button? New menu. Now you can copy it directly! Great! No need for right clicking every time, right? No! It only works in Edge! You want to copy from Outlook? Nothing! You highlight in Word or Excel? You can change the font of the selected text! No copy option!
You expect it to work a certain way and then it just doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I love right clicking, but expecting not having to and then still needing to click it is just… inconsistently inconvenient

You forgot the generations-old menus and settings windows.
That’s a Microsoft issue, not necessarily a W11 Problem.
Buddy, wait 'til you hear who makes the windows OS…
But Windows 11 started this inconsistency!
Like the inconsistencies with the whole system. 1/3 windows 11 style, 1/3 windows 10 style and 1/3 windows 7?
That OS is half completed and released it like that. Glad I switched to Linux ages ago
Then you eventually run into some Windows 95 stuff
1 or 2/10 are still NT style tho.
True. Still a shitty OS, especially now with the OOBE command removed to skip the M$ account setup and the fact they are forcing it
Yes! I pirated a stripped version of Win11 to get it running on a VM for this one program that won’t work in Wine. Still forced to use Windows at work.
I would just use the pro version with group policy.
For work someone else writes the group policy
What about this https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links ? Little to no crap. Installed it on a computer I need for a program. I run Linux as daily OS

<chuckles on linux> “he doesn’t know how to use the middle mouse button!”
(for people who may be unaware… in most linux distributions- all of them that I’ve used, and I’ve used a fair number; clicking middle mouse with text selected cuts and pastes the text. it’s one of those features that, once you get used to… you just can’t let go.)
Fun fact, Edge still has this stupid behavior even on Linux, so highlight and middle click doesn’t work properly since as soon as you highlight it pops up that stupid menu. You have to go into the menu and disable it before highlighting works correctly again.
Signed - someone who is fortunate enough to be able to use Linux on my work machine (yay!) but is still forced to use Edge on it (boo!)
Wait…. You can get edge on Linux?!
TIL.
Correction: it will copy, not cut. It’s also not using the actual clipboard, so you can basically have two things “in your clipboard”, which can also be a bit confusing.
