Windows 11 2022 Update has started shipping to the first wave of devices out there, with the eligible devices now allowed to manually check for updates and therefore install the new version without waiting for the automatic release.

Needless to say, Windows 11 2022 Update comes with lots of improvements and new features, but in addition to the things we can all see, the operating system update also includes other small tricks that you may have a hard time discovering.

Microsoft engineer Jen Gentleman has revealed one of them in a recent tweet. As it turns out, pressing CTRL + Shift + C when a file is selected allows you to quickly copy the file path to the clipboard.

“Little thing with Windows 11 22H2 - pressing CTRL + Shift + C when a file is selected now copies the path to the file,” the tweet reads.

More improvements in Windows 11

If you work with files on Windows 11 on a regular basis, worth knowing is that the new update also includes a feature that so many people have been waiting for: support for tabs in File Explorer. This feature lets users have multiple instances of the app in the same window, something that’s already available in modern file managers.

“Enhancements to File Explorer, including bringing tabs to File Explorer to help you organize your File Explorer sessions like 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 easy access – even including information at a glance of colleagues’ actions on your shared files through the power of OneDrive and personalized suggestions based on your Microsoft 365 account,” Microsoft said in the official announcement released last week when the Windows 11 2022 Update rollout kicked off.
