About this tag
Tabs in Windows 11 have become a central productivity feature, most notably in File Explorer where native tabbed navigation allows users to manage multiple folders within a single window, reducing clutter and streamlining workflows. Recent updates have introduced the ability to restore tabs and folder views after a reboot, addressing a long-standing user request. Windows Terminal also leverages tabs and split panes for multitasking across command-line shells like PowerShell, CMD, and WSL. Additionally, third-party browsers such as Zen Browser continue to refine tab behavior, including cross-window drag and workspace integration. For users who prefer a traditional single-window layout, there are discussions on disabling the tabbed interface in File Explorer.
