At long last tabs in the File Explorer, 27 years late but a much welcome addition indeed. The taskbar personalisation is awesome.

I guess they will continue to make win 11 more modern and feature rich.

the do not disturb icon never really made sense as a crescent moon icon as the crescent moon icon is more used for dark mode for most apps and website. glad they finally changed it.

Reminds me back when i used to have Clover on my Win 7 machine. Definitely one of the most requested feature and finally it's an inch closer here. I hope they would being it to the Office too.

Thank you, Zak. I saw clipchamp and had not checked it out yet. Now I know I can safely uninstall the bloatware!

[ScottWallace]

Great updates, especially for tabs in File Explorer. But that Clipchamp app pricing and the fact that it's soon to be a built in app with payment and limited functionality and not even 720p is free is frustrating/annoying. Especially for those people with not great/limited internet. Better features than the Photos editor, but hopefully better things arrive.

Apparently 1080p video exports are something only serious businesses needs & content creators only need 720p.

HD videos on Twitter doesn't matter anyway since they convert all of it to VHS quality upon tweeting.

Wow looks like they are actually listening to feedback. Can't wait to get this update!

[BennyR]

with every new build I always think that 22H2 is what Windows 11 should looked like when they released it. It would have god great reviews then, now everyone talked about it as an unfinished product and that will be in the mind of the people forever (see Windows Vista).

[Curios_Cat]

TABS! Do I even need to say anything? Thank you, Zac, for bringing us to good news. God bless you.❤❤😭😭

[williamtael]

Did they returned the function to drag and drop files into "show desktop" button?
The taskbar labels?
Can the lower half of the Start Menu be used for placing icons?

[whatyousee]

Still haven't updated to windows 11 was waiting for all bugs & performance issues to get solved, but it is getting there

[UOHCUNY]

Hallelujah. Finally we wait till it is on live build

[parth]

Having used linux for last 2 years and only recently moving back to windows, Tabs in file explorer is one of those features that I absolutely need. You don't know you need it until you use it.

[jeanbatiste]

explorers looking quite nice now, they just need to round out the remaining sharp corners and add smooth scroll

[caioronnau]

FINALLY!!! tabs on explorer, what a novel idea

[dergrat]

Love the new system tray design, but I hope they can improve its function a bit.

[chuzzbot]

OMG Tabs!!! It appeared briefly a couple of years ago in an insider build, but went away almost immediately. We all cried.
These subscription services seem to be completely unaware that people have limits to how many subscriptions consumers can tolerate paying.
This Clip thing is an easy HARD No. lols

Hey I'm just curios. that how yall get the builds so easily and quickly?
I mean i love the new builds coming from windows but i also love to have them on the computer...
Sooo im just asking how to get the latest builds?

[ekohendratno]

I hope the design follows the windows terminal, not more padding top in tap
