The keys are working all the time now, however if u get to the key page, and refresh you get a different key sometimes, there seems to be like 6 keys,

ALSO, I've checked and the keys are all the same doesnt matter what live account you use.

There seems to be 10 different keys in total.

Check with other people the first 5 digits i bet they match ?

CONFIRMED- ALL FIXED EVERY REFRESH GETS A KEY!

Keys seem to repeat but some are different occasionally.

I thought you were full of crap, but it's true. I get new keys every 3-4 refreshes.

I am not refreshing anymore, because I want the 2.5 million keys to go to others who will use them as well.

Sorrowuk: None of my first 5 digits match on any of the keys I've obtained.

Ok, i see that the "Beta download page" is still not working.... but it seems that its now possible to get keys pretty easy... and they work, confirmed by me, just activated. Microsoft screwed up here... all those who use this forum now know how to get them... soon M$ will run out of keys to give... So it would be good if those that got their keys to stop getting more or others wont have any left ;)

If you refresh enough times u will get a 32 bit key starting - 6JKV2

and a 64 bit key starting - 482XP

Therefore everyone gets the same keys, and there is only 10 of them round about

Odd I got one key for x64 that started with 482XP, and x64 6JKV2

Maybe there is only 10 key for everyone :p

I think you may be onto something w/ the ten keys per person.

Let me just take the time that this proves the pirates point as USUAL. If we go the legitimate way, we can't get any keys or beta. For all we know the keys will be nearly gone by time they FINALLY get around to doing what they said they were gonna do 24 hours ago.

Instead going the *alternative* way, we get lots of keys and we get them now.

What a joke.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
