The File Explorer tabs feature was present before the new update.

Great video man. Thanks for the heads up. I have a small question. How did you make your file explorer look like that?

[hughmeenagh]

So many great updates here, love the video screen record option and file explorer tabs 👏👏

Would love to see some office apps update for ipad users! Mainly making better use of the pen tool while presenting for example. Thanks.

As for Notepad, you did not mention that it now autosaves so that the annoying "save" dialog box doesn't open each time you try to close the window.

Great features! 🎉🎉 I used to do the recording video using Power Point. Now is easier.

Fast and informative, really useful video. Thanks Mike!

Looks great, but i just wish they refined the UI a bit more. The AI integration is awesome

In the Widgets get rid of those 2 right columns. All those things should JUST BE more widgets. Let me choose exactly what shows up in their. I know many people that refuse to use the widgets (including myself) because of that.

Can it also record the ASIO audio, (e.g.) what I use in DAW for recording virtual music instruments?

I'm on W11 - my version is whatever is most current as of 9 Nov 2023. If I click on the snipping tool shown in the Windows+Apps panel - I see the video, but when I do win+shift+s - it's still showing only static window option - not video/mic etc ? How do I update the win+shift+s to get that apparently newer app ?

Win 11 is incredible so far!! Lovit! <3

Is it just me, or the copilot app is no longer available on this new update? I'm not able to see it on the task bar.

[n.y.c.]

I don't wanna see the discover panel on widget section. Is there a way to turn only that side off ?

I just updated to 23H2 today and came here to see what was new and most of these features I've had already for a long time in 22H2. It sounds like they aren't linked to 23H2, but maybe they came out at the same time and still went to 22H2 users.

... and you didn't even mentioned the most useful new feature/option in this edition of Windows 11 (at least in my opinion): taskbar has now the option to ***not*** group icons --- see this in Settings:
Personalization >> Taskbar >>> the very last option in this page, "Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels";
you now can chose to "never" or at least "when taskbar is full", instead of previous mode that was always = "always" !!
This is the single option that I hated really in Windows 11 before this update/upgrade. Finally the nightmare of having all taskbar icons of opened File explorer grouped together in a single icon is gone.

[corneldiaconu]

Hm. Tabs in File Explorer is *not* a new option in edition 23H2 of Windows 11 !! It existed for quite some months already in Windows 11 (22H2 I remember it being versioned previous).

[AMindGame]

Install is bugged out from Windows update.. any CMD prompt to force the upgrade?

[vXilityFl]

In this screen recording update, will there be lag in the game or screen recording while recording a game?

[bossortega]

New tab on file explorer. God damn. Could have used that for the past decade.
