Microsoft has already confirmed a universal app version of File Explorer, and even though this was expected to launch with the Creators Update in April, the new file manager was nowhere to be seen when the company pushed the go-ahead button for the new OS update.
 
And yet, it appears that the new File Explorer version is actually there, only that it’s not directly available for users who install the Windows 10 Creators Update.
 
In fact, Microsoft hasn’t made it widely available in Windows 10 for a good reason: the UWP version of the File Explorer is not ready just yet, so the existing implementation is still work in progress. This means Microsoft is still developing the app and it should be released in the coming months, most likely with the Redstone 3 update to launch in September.
