Recently, it has been rumored that Microsoft will add an important and convenient new feature to the file explorer of Windows 11 in the system update released in the future, that is, it will add a browsing tab.
Some friends may not know what "tab tab" means, in fact, everyone is very familiar, very commonly used, that is, similar to the google Chrome browser address bar below the tabbed navigation bar.
Once File Explorer has this feature, the experience will be the same as the browser, the user can open several subwindows in a large window, the corresponding tab tab will be generated near the address bar, just click on different tabs, you can switch between different subwindows.
Users in the actual work, often need to open a number of different file directories at the same time, cut, copy and paste and other operations, the traditional practice is to open each file directory, must open a separate window, you need to click on the corresponding tab in the taskbar to switch, very cumbersome.
If there is a tab above the window, the user can directly click on the tab label corresponding to the subwindow to switch, which is much more convenient and efficient. To achieve this function is not complicated, many third-party file browsers have long been available, and some friends who pursue efficiency and have obsessive-compulsive disorder are using it.
In fact, this slot has existed in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser for a long time, when competitor browsers had tab function, and Microsoft did not add this feature until the official release of IE7 in October 2006.
The situation in File Explorer is very similar, users have been complaining, unfortunately, Microsoft's attitude towards this has been relatively negative, but recently this situation has changed, and its attitude has begun to tend to be positive.
According to internal developers, Microsoft is currently testing the tabbed interface in The File Explorer of the Windows 11 system, but the feature is not officially open, but is hidden and disabled, requiring more complex operations to enable.
In fact, this isn't the first time Microsoft has tested the tab feature in Windows File Explorer, as early as March 2018, Microsoft introduced the feature in the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17618 (RS5) release, but it hasn't been available in any official version of Windows.
As it stands, microsoft in the future version of Windows 11, the possibility of officially opening the tab function on the File Explorer interface is very large.
In addition, it is rumored that Microsoft will release a large feature update patch for the Windows 11 system this month, and will also launch a very heavy function, that is, Android programs can be run natively in Windows 11, and will also make greater improvements to the built-in WMP player and other software.
As for whether the new tag tab feature of File Explorer will be launched with this month's larger feature update patch, there is no accurate news at present, so stay tuned.
