Microsoft is finally rolling out the new File Explorer tabbed interface with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25136 to the Dev Channel.
"To help you work across multiple locations at the same time, the title bar of File Explorer now has tabs. We'd love your feedback on which tabs features you'd like to see next," the Windows Insider team said.
Microsoft first revealed the redesigned File Explorer during this April's "Windows Powers the Future of Hybrid Work" event, one month after it began testing the feature as a hidden Windows 11 development feature in March.
"Known Windows folders which are available by default in the navigation pane are no longer displayed under This PC to keep that view focused for your PC's drives.". Today, Microsoft also added more Dynamic Widgets content to the Windows 11 taskbar to allow Insiders to see breaking news alerts and more live content from sports and finance widgets.
Today, Microsoft also started rolling out new updates for the Windows 11 Notepad and Media Player apps that add improved performance.
You can try out the new File Explorer tabbed interface if you're enrolled in the Windows Insider program and have installed the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25136 from the Dev Channel.
