Just updated to 24H2 on my Windows 11 Home and noticed this. The rest of the options are hidden because the menu is displaying upward instead of down.

    Hi I am Kishorekumar,

    After updating to Windows 24H2, I encountered an issue in File Explorer where the "See More" options do not function correctly. Clicking on it either doesn't open the dropdown menu or causes the application to freeze momentarily. This behavior was not observed in previous versions.

    Steps to reproduce the issue:

    1. Open File Explorer.
    2. Click on the "See More" (ellipsis) button in the toolbar.
    3. Observe the behavior (e.g., unresponsive dropdown or freezing).

    Please investigate and provide a fix or workaround.

    Thank you.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Many people have reported that problem with the menu in File Explorer, it is a confirmed bug in the 24H2 update, currently there is no fix or workaround for that problem other than resizing the File Explorer window, Microsoft have indicated they will provide a patch for that problem in an upcoming update, we need to wait for them to fix the problem.

    This was reported here in early December, and now it's mid-February - still no fix. How much longer do we have to wait?

    Has there been a solution to this problem?

    There is no official fix yet. Please report this bug to Microsoft via the Feedback Hub (Win + F).

    Also, if possible, you may upvote the following thread:
