[[Windows 10]] introduced updated icons and a new "Quick access" menu, which provided easy access to frequent files and folders. There is also a hidden UWP-based File Explorer, likely a leftover from [[Windows 10 Mobile]], but it is actively used in [[Windows 10 Team vNext|the Team SKU of Windows 10]], which is very poor in terms of functionality. For example, it is not capable to open programs in the .exe format as this will lead up to an error. It is very similar to the Files app in Windows 10X. | [[Windows 10]] introduced updated icons and a new "Quick access" menu, which provided easy access to frequent files and folders.

The initial release of [[Windows 11]] revamped the classic File Explorer to feature new navigation buttons, rounded corners, new icons, new context menus and a new command bar to replace the previous Ribbon interface. The title bar and command bar also has Mica transparency effects, in accordance with the refreshed user interface guidelines for Windows 11. | The initial release of [[Windows 11]] revamped the classic File Explorer to feature new navigation buttons, rounded corners, new icons, new context menus and a new command bar to replace the previous Ribbon interface.

[[Windows Server build 25099|Build 25099]] renamed the Quick Access menu to Home with the former name being repurposed for the Pinned/Frequent folders section. The Pinned section was also renamed to to Favorites. | ||
[[Windows 11 build 22572.1|Build 22572]] introduced tabs in the File Explorer similar to most web browsers or the [[Windows Terminal]], although as of this build the feature is disabled by default. This marks Microsoft's second recent attempt to implement this frequently requested feature, as the company previously attempted to do so as a part of the Sets feature, which initially introduced in [[Windows 10 build 17618]] but has been disabled since [[Windows 10 build 17704.1000|build 17704]], to allow users to merge application windows and then switch between them using tabs. The feature was later publicly introduced to a subset of users in [[Windows 11 build 25136|Copper build 25136]] and [[Windows 11 build 22621.160|Nickel build 22621.160]]. | [[Windows 11 build 22572.1|Build 22572]] introduced tabs in the File Explorer similar to most web browsers or the [[Windows Terminal]], although as of this build the feature is disabled by default.
