Microsoft has unveiled new Windows 11 features at today's 'Windows Powers the Future of Hybrid Work' event, including a redesigned File Explorer, new accessibility features, Focus for Windows 11, and more.
To help Windows users increase productivity, Microsoft has revealed new features and enhancements to Windows 11, including a revamped File Explorer, App Folder in the Start Menu, new Focus features, and the new Live Captions accessibility features.
While Microsoft has not said when these new features will be available, they may be included in the Windows 11 22H2 feature update coming later this year.
Microsoft announced today that they are bringing a redesigned File Explorer to Windows 11 that supports tabs, a new home page, and contextual suggestions when sharing files.
One of the most requested File Explorer features is the ability to open folders in their own tabs within a single File Explorer window.
The Focus for Windows 11 feature includes a new Do Not Disturb feature that shuts off all notifications and a Focus Timer that allows you to specify how long you should not be disturbed.
