The many users of Windows 11 should greatly rejoice in what is to come. Indeed, a long-awaited new feature will soon be added to the operating system from Microsoft.
Like what already exists on the various web browsers, the Redmond firm is working on a system of tabs for the Windows 11 file explorer.
File Explorer welcomes tabs
In 2017, Microsoft announced “ Sets ”, a feature supposed to bring tabs to various Windows applications, including File Explorer. However, having at the time deemed the results unsatisfactory, the Redmond firm then finally retraced its steps and decided to cancel this project for Windows 10.
But today, it is true that this functionality can be sorely lacking in Windows. Although alternatives such as Clover, Files or Groupy exist, having to open and switch between several windows in order to access different parts of the file explorer is clearly not the most practical. This is why the American giant decided, five years later, to resuscitate the project of integrating tabs directly into the Windows 11 file explorer.
Just like on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, you will soon be able to juggle between your different tabs in the file explorer, but also to drag them to move them as you wish. It will also be possible to move a tab outside of a window in order to create a new one, or to open a folder directly in a new tab with a single click.
For the moment still in the test phase, and therefore accessible only to a handful of users, the tab system in Windows 11 File Explorer has not yet given any precise indication as to its potential deployment. .

- Graphical redesign of the successful interface
- Improved Snap
- Effective anchor groups
To be completely honest, Windows 11 seems to us to be a good evolution of Windows 10. Beyond the very marketing aspect linked to the surprise effect (Windows 10 was presented as the last of the last, remember) and to the mainly graphical redesign of the interface, the update brings a bit of clarity and modernity that are welcome after six years spent with an OS designed to reconcile Microsoft and its audience. We also like the discreet details that make it more functional, such as the improved snap and anchor groups, or even the refined management of virtual desktops. Finally, we are really convinced by the redesign of the Microsoft Store. By agreeing to return to the exclusivity reserved for UWPs, Microsoft is effectively hitting where it is not expected and finally compels itself to catch up on Apple and Google.
