Microsoft Released Redesigned File Explorer For Windows 11, Here Is How To Enable It;

Microsoft is rolling out a redesigned File Explorer for testing in the latest Windows 11 Dev build 23475. As it usually goes with significant changes, the scope of the rollout is gradual, which means not everyone has access to the new File Explorer. Luckily, you can skip the line and force-enable the missing feature using the ViVeTool app. The updated File Explorer powered by Windows App SDK features an improved address bar with new fonts, better flyouts, and additional indicators for local and cloud files. Also, the search box and the address bar now sit atop the toolbar, so get ready to re-train your muscle memory. Soon, Microsoft will also add a new carousel view for users signed into Windows with Azure Active Directory accounts. It will display recommended files with thumbnails above the favorites and recent files.
