- A new Windows 11 preview build is testing tabbed browsing in File Explorer.
- The feature will allow you to browse between folders without opening a new window.
- Microsoft feature will be included in Windows 11’s Creators Update later this year, but hasn’t yet been tested.
Even if you’re a Windows Insider and your PC is set to get Dev Channel builds (for users who want to get the most active updates, even if there’s a possibility they’ll be unstable), you might not notice the test straight immediately. The features are coming out, as senior programme manager Brandon LeBlanc stated in a tweet. They’ll apparently wait for comments before allowing more testers to join.

It also has an experimental left navigation panel that displays the Home button first, then your OneDrive cloud-synced folders, then folders you’ve pinned for easy access, and finally This PC and Network drives.
“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,” Microsoft states in the test.

Another major feature being tested in this release is the addition of more dynamic material to widgets in the Window taskbar. Microsoft just recently added live updates to the Weather widget in Windows 11, but it’s already experimenting with automatically refreshed material for sports and financial widgets, as well as breaking news notifications.
