New or notably improved Windows apps
The update for the file management tool includes a new interesting, but experimental feature. It allows you to "flatten" folders, which attempts to move files from subfolders into the main folder.
There is also a handy new shortcut. Hold the Shift-key while pressing the properties button to launch the properties window of File Explorer.
Mozilla added a few interesting features to the new stable browser version. The new Labs section lists an automated picture-in-picture mode, which enables and disables the smaller window for playing media automatically when switching tabs.
There is also an option to enable AI chatbots in the sidebar and better translate support.
Microsoft's open source tools collection has a new tool. It is called Workspaces and its main purpose is to launch multiple programs at once.
You may add programs to groups and configure on which monitor they will launch. Options to set the position on the screen and the size of windows are also provided.
