14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has started the rollout of another major update for Windows 11 devices, and this time, what you’ll find in there are the promised new features that were announced as part of the 2022 Update unveiling.
One of the most important new features that become available as part of the update codenamed Moments 1 is support for File Explorer tabs.
This feature first rolled out for insiders earlier this year, while the production rollout was announced last month when Microsoft started the release of the 2022 Update.
“One of our most loved and highly utilized features, File Explorer, is getting better. Windows is always looking for ways to simplify your everyday tasks and make collaborating as effortless as possible. So, we’re releasing Tabs to File Explorer that let you organize your files and switch between your folders with ease,” Microsoft announced today.
“The new Favorites section is the perfect place to pin your most used files. And thanks to the power of OneDrive we’re making it easier for you to see important information like which of your colleagues most recently edited or commented on your file. When sharing content, Windows can also provide a list of contacts you’re likely to share content with and some personalized suggestions based on your Microsoft 365 account.”
In addition, Microsoft announced the new suggested actions, as well as taskbar improvements, including the overflow and the integration of Task Manager.
“Taskbar is getting two highly requested enhancements. First, if you like to pin a larger selection of apps to your taskbar than space allows, Taskbar gives you an entry point to an overflow menu that allows you to view all your overflowed apps in one space. Second, when you right click on the taskbar, in addition to Taskbar Settings, you will also see an option to jump directly into your Task Manager. These improvements have been made in direct response to your feedback and to give you access to what is important with a single click,” Microsoft said.
