I’m enrolled in the Release Preview channel of the Insider program, and when I checked for updates, the Windows 11 22H2 update had already appeared. This is the major update for the second half of this year, with the following notable changes and features:
Create folders in the Start menu
Much like on a smartphone, creating a folder is as simple as dragging one app icon on top of another. You can also name and rename folders in Windows 11.
Drag and drop files on the Taskbar
A feature many users have been waiting for has returned, though it works a bit differently than it did in Windows 10. For example, if Photoshop is open and minimized to the Taskbar, you can drag and hold an image file over the Photoshop icon, wait for the app to appear, and then drop the file into the app interface. On Windows 10, you could simply drop the image onto the icon.
New Task Manager
Task Manager has a more modern new interface. The functional tabs have been moved to the right side with new icons, while information in the Processes section is now color-accented using the system accent color.
There is also a new App history tab that lists resource usage from apps in the order they were opened on Windows 11. The new Task Manager also supports Dark mode.
Improved File Explorer
File Explorer on Windows 11 now has a new Favorites area between Quick access and Recent, letting you pin files there for quick access by right-clicking a file and choosing Add to Favorites.
File Explorer also integrates better with OneDrive. In the OneDrive - Personal section, there is a new icon in the left corner that lets you quickly view used storage as well as the status of files that are syncing.
I couldn’t find the option to open folders in tabs, so if anyone knows where it is, let me know.
The folder thumbnail preview feature has also returned, making it easier to identify what is inside without opening the folder.
New Snap controls
There is a new way to snap windows. On the current version of Windows 11, you can snap a window by hovering over the Snap button and selecting a layout, or by clicking and holding a window and dragging it to the corners or edges of the screen. In 22H2, there is now another option: drag a window to the top edge of the screen, and a new Snap bar appears with layouts to choose from.
New battery charging icon
The battery charging icon now uses a lightning bolt instead of the plug icon used previously.
