One of the greatest changes in Windows 11 2022 Update is the addition of support for tabs in File Explorer, the built-in file manager preloaded with the OS.

Diehard Windows fans know that tabs in File Explorer have always been a top feature request in the operating system, but so far, the company has pretty much ignored it.

In fact, the first attempt to bring tabs to file for Explorer happened in the past using the introduction of Sets in Microsoft Edge. However, the objective of Sets was to bring tabs everywhere across Windows, not only to File Explorer.

Microsoft's Panos Panay says Windows 11 2022 Update was built on user feedback.

"Windows 11 brought a feeling of ease to the PC, by having an intuitive design everyone loves. We're building on that foundation with additional features to guarantee the content and information you need is always at your fingertips, including updates towards the Start menu, faster and more accurate search, Quick Settings, improved local and current events coverage inside your Widgets board, and also the No. 1 ask from you, tabs in File Explorer. All of the helps Windows anticipate your requirements and save you time," he explains.

File Explorer tabs made their method to insiders captured, and with the help of the Windows Insider program, the organization has further polished the experience to ensure everything is working as expected.

"Enhancements to file for Explorer, including bringing tabs to File Explorer that will help you organize your File Explorer sessions as if you do in Microsoft Edge. The new homepage in File Explorer gives you quick access to your favorite and recent files, so you can pin important files for quick and simple access - even including information at a glance of colleagues' actions on your shared files through the power OneDrive and personalized suggestions based on your Microsoft 365 account," the software giant says.
