The file explorer has not received too many changes however the context menu seems to have rounded corners. This gives the screen a better look.

Thumbnail Previews Are Removed


Another feature that most Windows users were familiar with was the thumbnail preview for folders. This has been replaced by colorful folders representing each menu.

Button To Show Desktop Is Removed


This is one change that will not affect too many users. The show desktop button at the bottom right of the screen has now been removed. However, since most users press Windows+D to show their desktop, this change will not affect most.
