Windows 10 April 2019 Update: The functional Windows 10 version 1903, also known as 19H1 or April 2019 Update, is expected to be released this month with significant improvements
One of the tweaks of the upcoming version concerns File Explorer, the default file manager that comes preinstalled in Windows 10.
With the upcoming Window 10 of 1903, new File Explorer windows will start with a separate process, so if you work with multiple folders, you will have multiple processes from the same file manager that will run simultaneously.
This tweak has an important advantage: if one of the windows stops responding, closing it will not affect the other windows of the file manager. The way is similar to the way browser tabs work Google Chrome.
It is known that Google's browser uses separate processes to protect other tabs when a site stops responding.
The specific mode it should be enabled from File Explorer's Folder Options. Once the option is enabled, Windows File Explorer processes in Task Manager will expand and you will see a new one when you open a new folder.
To see if this feature will be RAM-friendly with Windows systems, let's say things by their name are needed around 2GB RAM only to function dignified.
Windows 10 in 1903 will be released in just a few weeks and it is believed that RTM build has already been signed. However, Microsoft has not yet announced anything official about the release date of the new version.
If you are now in a hurry, you can always try the new File Explorer feature in the most recent Window Previews 10 19H1 that are available for Insiders in Fast and Slow Ring.
