Instructions: enable the “Gallery” section in the “Explorer” in…

In early January, it became known that Microsoft was working on a major update of File Explorer in Windows 11, and some innovations were already present in insider builds of the system, but disabled by default. Moreover, in one of the videos, representatives of the company confirmed that the new version of the application is being created based on the Windows App SDK using WinUI 3.

Famous insider Albacore was able to activate an early version of the new File Explorer in Windows 11 Build 25300 (Dev), which so far is no different from the current implementation, with the exception of a new button with a pizza icon. He also showed off an upcoming Gallery section with a timeline and a customizable list of photo sources.
