Windows 10: More than 10 years later, still no tabs in File Explorer?

Why? Surely its not that complicated, most programs have this feature, including most other file managers.

I have seen Microsoft even rolled them out at some point: https://winaero.com/blog/open-folder-new-tab-windows-10-file-explorer/

But now I checked in the Win 10 Pro with all updates installed and its nowhere to be seen.

How do I enable this?

Or its back to using a third-party file manager?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
