Everyone got excited when they saw the awesome new File Explorer design that is shown in the latest windows promotion video. But even if you are in the fast ring in the Windows Insider Program, you won’t be able to access the new Universal Windows Platform based file explorer design present in the windows 10.
These design changes are meant to be released for the Windows 10 20H2 update planned this year.
This New File Explorer is tested by us on Windows 10 OS Build Version 19645.1 and it works well. So try this on the latest version of Windows build to get the best experience.
How to activate New File Explorer Interface on Windows 10, Windows 12
To activate the new Windows 10 File Explorer Design follow the below steps

Now you will see the latest File explorer will be activated and it will open as a separate application.
Now you can pin this new File Explorer to your Taskbar by right-clicking on the icon and choose Pin to Taskbar.
