If we keep our focus on the File Explorer, then it has finally received the much-awaited multi-tabs feature. On the flip side though, a few bugs have also managed to creep in. In this regard, many users had reported that the View Type that they set for a specific folder isn’t memorized by Explorer, and upon a restart, the View Type changes to default. While the dust surrounding this issue is yet to settle down, a new one has already made its way. As of now, numerous users have voiced their concern that File Explorer tends to automatically come to the front on their Windows 11 PC. It doesn’t matter with which app they are currently interacting, the File Explorer, if opened in the backend is bound to make its presence felt. And among all the opened apps, it ends up occupying the first position, thereby overlapping the rest. As far as the culprit behind this infuriating bug is concerned, all fingers are being currently pointed out at the Windows 22H2 update or around the time the tabs feature was rolled out. So this begs the all-important question- is there a fix? let’s check it out.
