Windows 10: Opening a new File Explorer Window in W11

HiIn W10, I can open a new File Explorer window by hitting File -> Open New Window.In W11 there appear to be no equivalent option under the "New" menu; to open a new Explorer window you need to either use the keyboard shortcut or right click on the start panel icon; this is cumbersome in desktop mode and even worse in tablet "mode" I know that in W11 "tablet mode" is not right; I noticed because I have a Surface.So the issue is: if I am right and I have not overlooked something obvious, will the folks at Microsoft add an item to the "New" menu?All the bestMarco

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

'Open in new window' right-click menu option for File Explorer


I just submitted this suggestion on Windows Uservoice:

The idea: the right-click menu for folders in File Explorer has an option called 'Open in new window', which opens that folder in a new File Explorer window. Very useful for copying and moving things, and opening destination folders without accessing the start menu a second time.

Is this a weird joke/troll?

That feature has been in Explorer since at least Windows 7...
