Starting with version 22H2, Microsoft updates Windows 11 with frequent portions of new features internally called "Moments". For example, the "Moment 1" update has included tabs in File Explorer, Suggested Actions, and more. Its successor, the Moment 2 update features, are in testing among Insiders and are slated for the release in February or March 2023. Finally, in the spring of 2023 there will be another set of features called "Moment 3" and it will appear sometime in May.
The list of novelties included in the Moment 1 set is reviewed in detail here. It includes a tabbed File Explorer, Suggested Actions, several taskbar improvements, Nearby Sharing, and iCloud support in the Photos app.
