Takes two tries to see OneDrive context menu options.

streetwolf · Dec 8, 2021

Until recently when I right clicked on a file in my Onedrive folder I got what is below (in red box). Now in order to see these options I have to right click on my file twice. When I move out of my Onedrive folder and go back the same issue happens all over. Anyone seeing this? Anyone have an idea how to get things back to just one right click? At least two clicks works so it's not much of a problem but it shouldn't be happening.

Never heard of double right-click. Check your mouse configuration.

Let me clarify what I call a double right click.

1. I display a file in one of my Onedrive folders.
2. I hover over it and when it is focused I right click on it. Result is the Onedrive options are missing.
3. I then click over a blank area of the FIle Manager screen which removes the focus from my file.
4. I do another right click on my file and the missing items appear.

Ra the right click is funny on W11, I changed mine to the same type that W10 uses.

Are you talking about not having the "more options" at the bottom of the context menu? If so that is what I have.

Ya I get rid of that. It may not help you at all but, just a thought.

Disable "Show more options" context menu in Windows 11 Tutorial

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable having to click on "Show more options" to see the full context menu for your account or all users in Windows 11. When you right click on an item in Windows 11, you will see a new modern condensed context menu with Show more options...

Seems that Microsoft did that, just because of web sites doing that kind of thing, notably "See more" in Facebook.

I think I might be on to something.

I ran W11 under a VM and have the W11 default context menu. When I right click over my file in my onedrive folder I have to select the see more options in order to see the Onedrive entries. This is a two click process which is kinda like what I have to do on my production W11 because I am using the classic contest menu.

I wanted to go back to the W11 menus but non of the 'tricks' that let me do that work. At the moment I am stuck at the classic menus.

I solved my problem of not being able to go back to the default W11 menus. I use StartAllBack and I didn't realize it had an option to use the classic menus which I had enabled. Once I disabled it I got the default menus.

As far as OneDrive goes the default menu has an entry called OneDrive that when clicked on opens another menu with all the missing entries. They also appear in the menu that pops up when I click on Show More Options although I think there were times the OneDrive entries were missing.

While the default menu requires more clicks to get to options the classic menu loses some functionality. The two menus are not equal in what they contain.
