- Windows 11 has a new preview build
- It fully removes AI actions if you’ve disabled them all in File Explorer
- This means there will no longer be an empty folder in the right-click menu for AI actions that have been turned off
Windows 11 just got a change for the better in terms of AI – albeit only in testing for now – which removes some clutter related to the AI actions feature.
That functionality pertains to File Explorer’s right-click context menu, but it’s more of a refinement to existing options than anything else (and I’ll come back to why later). Even so, it’s going to be well-received; you can count on that.
Windows Central reported on Microsoft announcing a simple but functional change in a new Windows 11 preview (build 26220.7344): “If there are no available or enabled AI Actions, this section will no longer show in the context menu.”
This means that if there are no possible AI actions with any given file that you’ve right-clicked, you no longer see the (empty) folder relating to said actions (or lack of them).
AI actions include things like asking Copilot to summarize a document or pulling off image-editing tricks on your photos (like erasing an object using AI).
