Hands-on with tabs in the Windows 11 File Explorer & more!

Windows 11 Dev Channel build 25136 delivered the long-awaited tabs experience in File Explorer. We go hands-on with the feature, show how we enabled it, and go through some other new features like new context menus with copying and pasting.

00:00-1:22 Intro & how to enable
1:22-3:58 Tabs in File Explorer
3:58-4:30 Search Widget
4:30-5:16 Search bar on desktop
5:16-6:47 New copy context menus

Great it worked out for you! Happy to see Microsoft finally fixing Explorer and making it more modernised and feature rich! Thanks for the shoutout too! Appreciate it :)

The search bar on the desktop and the search widget in the taskbar are the most useless things I've ever seen. What's the point in having this big search bar in the corner, when you can have the search icon next to the start menu if you want to? And who goes back to the desktop to search something in bing? Who searches something in bing in the first place?

Oh no.. that "Home" feature sure is NOT welcomed. I much prefer having my Quick Access folders pinned on the side
