Windows 11’s New File Explorer With Tab Support Will Probably Be Available To Users Soon After The Release Of The 22H2 Update Of This Operating System.

Microsoft added new features to Windows 11 earlier this year as part of the 2022 Update. The company’s new file browser is now available experimentally, But most users are waiting to try the final and public version.
