Blogger’s notebook: File Explorer tabs, Ignite, and Windows 11 22H2
Has Microsoft started to roll out items in Windows 11 that make us crusty old timers finally upgrade, that make us think, “Hmm, that’s kinda cool,” instead of wanting an older feature back?
It’s starting to look that way.
File Explorer tabs
I’m thinking specifically about File Explorer tabs — currently in preview mode — where you can quickly launch a second session of File Explorer with a quick click on “Plus” icon. Until now, we’ve had to right-mouse-click on File Explorer to open up a new Explorer tab when working on several projects, or moving files between local and network drives. The arrival of tabs, combined with changes to the Task Manager in Windows 11, just might start moving the needle for users who’ve been hesitant to upgrade.

Windows 11 22H2 gets a slew of new group policy changes
Released officially last week, Windows 11 22H2 offers a number of new features and options, though many aren’t yet available — Microsoft will be “dribbling” out changes throughout the coming year. The much-touted Windows File Explorer tabs, for example, has not yet rolled out, but the items released do include Enhanced Phishing Protection, which is available to consumers as well as businesses. (To take advantage of the new reporting and alerts, you do need a license to the Microsoft 365 security portal, which is included in a Microsoft 365 E5 license, or a Microsoft 365 business premium license. The latter is a specific license for companies with fewer than 300 seats.)
