Microsoft plans to bring tabs to Windows 11 Notepad. An employee of the company said this in a tweet, but he was not allowed to release it yet. The confidentiality of that update can even be seen in the screenshot.
The image shows the Windows 11 notepad, including two tabs. A red bar at the top of the window reads ‘confidential; do not discuss functions or take screenshots’. Nevertheless, this employee did not let himself be stopped. The tweet was deleted shortly after, but sites like Windows Central already spotted the mistaken tweet .
When the tabs come to Windows 11 Notepad has not been announced. The next major Windows 11 update in which the feature could appear is Windows 11 22H2 Moment 2. According to Windows Latest sources , that update is coming in January 2023. Windows 11 22H2 Moment 1 was released recently and added tabs to the explorer .
Behind the scenes, Microsoft has been working on bringing tabs to its applications for some time now. In 2017, there was talk of Notepad, Explorer, and Office in Windows 10 already getting tabs . However, that never materialized.
