One of the best new Windows 11 features has an additional hidden benefit

The imminent arrival of a 브라우저-style tabbing system for the Windows 11 File Explorer may also deliver an additional fringe benefit, new reports suggest.

When Microsoft first unveiled the new feature, the company emphasized the advantages from a 생산력 perspective, but it appears that tabs for File Explorer confer a welcome performance advantage too.

로에서보고 Windows 최신, users with early access to the facility are finding that opening a new File Explorer tab uses up minimal additional memory resources (in the region of 1MB). Launching into a brand new File Explorer window, meanwhile, requires roughly ten times that amount.

In the context of most modern 컴퓨터, and in particular professional 워크 스테이션, these memory savings are minimal. But then again, every little helps, and the performance benefit will scale with the amount of file management the user performs.

새로운 모습의 파일 탐색기는 XNUMX월에 처음 발표, 에 초점을 맞춘 이벤트 기간 동안 하이브리드 작업 innovations for Windows 11. Under the new system, instead of opening an additional File Explorer instance to browse a new file location, users can simply bring up a new tab that sits neatly within the same window.

The objective is simple: to reduce desktop clutter and make it easier to work across multiple file locations at once by cutting down on the number of windows open simultaneously.

The rollout of the new tabbing system began earlier this month with the arrival of Windows 11 preview build 25136, available to members of the early-access program. It’s still unclear when the new version of File Explorer will make its way into a full public build, but users can at least take comfort in the fact that testing has now begun in earnest.

In the meantime, users will also be pleased to hear that the new system may also deliver a performance boost, one that scales with the number of File Explorer tabs someone traditionally has open at once.

And neither is this the only way in which Microsoft is seeking to optimize RAM usage in Windows 11. Recently, the company 발표 that its new sleeping tabs feature for Microsoft Edge has saved users a combined 273 PB of RAM over the last month or so (at circa 39.1MB per tab).

In conjunction, then, the two new features could lead to material RAM savings for users, yielding superior multitasking performance and extended battery life. What’s not to like?
