You can see all of the changes to the <strong>fledgeling OS<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aWP1gHoDoOw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft\u2019s dedicated video<\/a>, but we\u2019ll take you through the most important parts below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"See what&#039;s new in the Windows 11 2022 Update\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aWP1gHoDoOw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First off, we have the brand-new tabbed file explorer feature that we\u2019ve seen in dev builds. The purpose of this new<strong> file explorer configuration<\/strong> is to minimize the number of windows you have floating around your desktop. Now, you can access all of your files in the same way that you access webpages in your favorite browser &#8211; tabs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another new feature is that items that don\u2019t fit on your taskbar will now be accessible from a new overflow menu. This is similar to the one you see in the notifications interface, and it\u2019ll be just as useful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also now right-click to launch the task manager utility. This was confirmed in one of the more recent dev builds. However, the feature seems to be <strong>missing <\/strong>in the current update. This is likely a bug, and we should expect it to be rectified post haste.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft releases the Windows 11 Moment 1 update\" class=\"wp-image-205543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Microsoft-releases-the-Windows-11-Moment-1-update-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous other updates and quality-of-life changes have been made to the young new OS, but it isn\u2019t the only one to get an update. <strong>Windows 10<\/strong>, as old as it is, has also received an update &#8211; possibly one of the last to mean anything.
