14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is now getting ready to roll out the first major update for Windows 11, with the first devices projected to get it at some point in the next coming days.
But at the same time, the Redmond-based software giant is also working around the clock on several other exciting features, some of which would show up for insiders rather sooner than later.
As you probably know already if you’re part of the Windows Insider program, Microsoft has delayed the latest two builds, and WindowsCentral reports the reason for the whole thing is a batch of new features supposed to go live for users in the Dev channel.
In other words, Microsoft needs more time to prepare these exciting updates, so the next preview build, possibly landing in the coming days, will come with lots of new things to try.
Enter app folders in Start
One of them is support for app folders in the Start menu. As it turns out, Microsoft finally decided that app folders should indeed be there in the Start menu, after previously removing them when rolling out Windows 11.
App folders have previously been offered to Windows 10 users, though at that point, the folders were actually groups for the live tiles pinned to the Start menu.
A similar approach will be used this time as well, with users to be allowed to simply move an app icon over another and therefore create a folder. Then, they can just drag and drop as many icons as they want in the same folder, thus keeping things organized in the Start menu regardless of the number of apps currently installed.
As said, the feature will show up for insiders rather sooner than later, while production devices should get it as part of the Sun Valley 2 update due in the second half of the year.
