Finally something interesting about Windows 11, but it'll take a lot more to get me to switch.

[NestorCustodio]

OMG, the Windows file manager didn't have tabs? It still blows my mind that people consider it a real operating system. 🤦

[FoxBlocksHere]

Thanks for the consistent uploads about Windows 11! They're always so helpful!

Also, I'm still trying to get used to tabs. I keep forgetting they're finally a thing, and end up opening multiple windows instead! Haha.

(1:50) You can place the windows side by side.
But I get your point

Cool, it’s been on the Nemo file explorer in Linux for quite a while already (and probably other file explorers but I don’t use others much)

[Povilaz]

Ah, so finally a valid reason to switch over to Windows 11. Wish there was a way to port this to Windows 10 as well as the dark mode Task Manager.

Hasn't this been a mac feature for... literally over a decade now?

[JachymKvasnicka]

Explorer tabs are the same story as the rest of the W11 development - half baked job.

Finally!
I remember using tabs in file managers like a decade ago on a xfce Linux distro ans wondered why windows never had it!

Had to use third party apps to add that functionality to windows 10 but it never felt Smooth

Tbh I really want the search BAR to be back bc it makes Windows 11 feel alot more like the good old days where we had a search bar in windows 7 and 10 and previous.

Though you can always use ctrl+x/ctrl+c to move files instead of manually moving them with the mouse and be quicker. :)

me as a mac users : window explorer doesn’t have tabs????

[drealsmz]

it's been a while the file explorer tabs released

[alvzcizzler]

Is there a way to disable tabs on the explorer I haven't updated yet but I wonder?

[KnightRaymund]

Ah, MVP. Couldn't add all the functionality Edge tabs have, just get them barely working and then release.

[doomotron]

Weirdly I haven't been able to install 2H22 yet. My computer meets the system requirements, but no update...

[TheAlexR]

I gasped at the thumbnail and had to explain why to my coworker XD She was not as impressed as me with the news

[MrDragos]

I am still waiting for Start Menu Folders update. Lenovo Ideapat 5 Pro 16inch, Ryzen 5 5600h, 16GB of RAM.

[Jonas-ejid]

Does middle clicking (or 3 finger on TouchPad) open and close tabs?

My condolences to anyone unfortunately using Windows 11
