Microsoft announces tabs for Windows Explorer

Microsoft revamps Windows Explorer in Windows 11. The Explorer gets a new design and tabs. It is not yet known when the new Windows Explorer will be added to Windows 11.

Microsoft officially announces the tabs and new design for Windows Explorer in a blog. The tabs had already been discovered in an Insider Preview Build last month, but Microsoft hadn’t officially announced anything yet.

Tabs already seemed on the way in Windows 10, when Microsoft experimented with the Sets feature. These tabs were eventually removed from the operating system before they were properly added. Now the tabs are still added. The first image that Microsoft shows shows what the new Explorer will look like. At the top is the option to show windows in tabs, as we are already used to in many internet browsers.

Microsoft also announces Windows 11 integration for Windows 365 Boot. This makes it possible to log in directly to a cloud PC from the taskbar. You can then switch between the cloud work environment and the local PC via the taskbar.

It is not yet known when the new features will be added to Windows 11. The updates will probably be added to Insider Builds before they become available to all users.
