New Modernized File Explorer Home and Address Bar

This new file explorer is powered by Windows App SDK using the WinUI 3. x technology. The Quick Access folder is available for users signed in with their Microsoft accounts. The new WinUI also appears across the Favorites and Recent folders on File Explorer. Obviously, it looks far better than the previous File Explorer, with a consistent look with the Windows 11 design in line.

Not only this but the address bar and the search box also get revamped, placed on the same row just below the tabs. It now intelligently recognizes local vs. cloud folders with built-in status. Talking about OneDrive users, they will notice an address bar featuring a OneDrive sync status and quota flyout.

This new File Explorer is rolling out to a handful of users, which means it’s available to some. Before rolling out to a wider audience, Microsoft wants to gather more feedback to refine File Explorer.

Dynamic Lighting

Now Windows 11 has native control of lighting devices, implementing the Open HID LampArray Standard. With the adoption of this open standard and partnerships with OEMs, Windows 11 supports a wide range of RGB devices, such as ASUS, HP, HyperX, Logitech, Razer, and Twinkly, as well as software support. Users can further customize the behaviour of devices such as keyboards, mice, and other things directly from the Windows Settings.

You can check the list of compatible devices with Windows 11 Dynamic Lighting. You can navigate to the Devices settings, where you can personalize and then go to Dynamic Lighting.

Microsoft Edge

The release of the new Microsoft Windows 11 brings a slightly new look and feel to the browser. It still feels beautiful while enhancing the browsing experience. The update focuses on increasing efficiency and focuses on the web, along with better support for AI (Co-Pilot) support.

Unlike the previous Edge, it’s now easier to distinguish between web content and browser elements with the new container/modular system. The browser is well-optimized for productivity. The profile icon on the browser has now moved from the right to the left to improve visibility and keep things on the right, which are more actionable, like the Co-Pilot.
