This is an easy way to switch to Windows 10 File Explorer in Windows 11

A few days ago, we posted a guide on how to disable File Explorer tabs in Windows 11, because not everyone cares. But it seems you can switch to File Explorer in Windows 10 with very little effort, thanks to Microsoft’s habit of leaving things behind when they replace them.

Before we begin, this trick works on the general release build of Windows 11, so you don’t have to be a Windows Insider to take advantage of this choice of File Explorer in Windows.

1. First, open File Browser and navigate to Control Panel from the address bar,
2. Of Control Panelopen the navigation again from the address bar and click Home,
3. Prepare to be amazed, it’s Windows 10 File Explorer, complete with ribbon!

Also, you can choose, open another tabbed Windows 11 File Explorer and leave Windows 10 File Explorer open. Go crazy!

While we know there are ways to restore Windows 10 File Explorer via the registry if you want, this seems like an easy way to switch between the old and new way, based on your own preferences, and as long as Microsoft doesn’t. make. Don’t clean up old code snippets any time soon, you won’t risk having registry settings reset with patch updates.
