    In the Queries list of any Power Query window, the following actions are only available in the context menu when a single query is selected:

    • Enable load
    • Duplicate
    • Reference
    • Move up
    • Move down


    There's no apparent reason why these actions can't be applied to multiple queries in the same manner as the Copy, Paste, Delete, and Move to group actions, all of which appear in the context menu when multiple queries are selected.


    Please add these missing actions to the multi-selected queries context menu in Power Query!

    moreover, a similar option is available in Power Query - Specify custom load settings

    Agreed. It is time-consuming to disable loading of queries one by one. It would be an improvement to have the option to Enable/Disable Load or Include/Exclude in Report Refresh multiple reports at once, such as within the right-click menu after selecting multiple reports through Ctrl/Shift + Click.
