If you’ve ever found yourself in the frustrating position of accidentally closing File Explorer while navigating through a maze of folders and tabs, relief is on the horizon. Microsoft has recently unveiled a new preview build for Windows 11 Insiders on the Beta Channel, which brings a host of enhancements, but one feature stands out: the ability for File Explorer to remember your tabs.
Enhancing User Experience
With the latest update, users can now select the “Restore previous folder windows at logon” option within File Explorer’s settings. This simple yet effective addition allows the system to remember all your opened tabs, seamlessly restoring them upon your next login to Windows. Imagine the convenience of picking up right where you left off, without the hassle of retracing your steps through multiple directories.
This feature is currently exclusive to Windows 11’s Beta update KB5046733, also identified as Build 22635.4580. As anticipation builds, the timeline for a broader rollout to all Windows 11 users remains uncertain, but the prospect of enhanced productivity is certainly enticing.
