The wait is over: Windows 11 users finally get the File Explorer upgrade they deserve, but not from Microsoft

Microsoft is addressing challenges with Windows 11, particularly in managing tabs in File Explorer, which has not fully met user expectations. A third-party application, ExplorerTabUtility, enhances tab management by making tabs in File Explorer function more like those in web browsers. It allows users to open folders and external links in new tabs, offers tab history, and includes features like "Smart tab switching" to avoid duplicate tabs. The app also simplifies tab duplication with a Ctrl + D shortcut and runs with minimal system resource usage. To install ExplorerTabUtility, users need .Net 9 and Windows 11 22H2 or later, and it is available for download on GitHub.

We tried Windows 11 LTSC. It comes with your classic apps, no AI or modern UI

Windows 11 LTSC version 24H2 is designed for enterprise users and does not support personal Microsoft accounts during setup. The installation process requires a work or school account, but users can bypass this by using a command prompt trick to set up a local account. The operating system is free from adware and promotional content, presenting a clean interface. It includes the new Outlook web app and retains legacy versions of some applications like Snipping Tool and Paint, which have been updated with modern features. Customization options are limited in the unactivated version, and users must download applications manually without access to the Microsoft Store. File Explorer has enhancements like tab duplication and support for various compression formats. A list of pre-installed applications includes various Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes, Microsoft Edge, Outlook, Paint, and Notepad.
