Microsft has started testing tabs in File Explorer on Windows 11. Rafael Rivera one of the developers of the Windows app, has discovered the new tabs supports hidden inside Microsoft’s latest Window 11 teat build. This feature appears to be one of the secret additions Microsoft has stated testing in Windows 11 recently.
The multiple tabs to File Explorer in Windows 11 allows for multiple folders to be open in one window. Microsoft first started testing in Windows 10 apps, under a feature named sets. This includes support for tabs inside File Explorer and tabs in every Windows app, but Microsoft cancelled the project and never shipped it to Windows 10 users.

We are now waiting on Microsoft to officially announce tabs for File Explorer. Windows Insider chief Amanda Langowski said last month that the company would “only communicate about featuring that we are purposefully enabling for insiders to try out and give feedback on.” Since tabs is a highly requested feature for File Explorer, we’d expect to hear an official Microsoft announcement soon.
