You already know about Sets feature on Windows 10 yet? Well, if you are a general user, you probably will not know this feature. Well, to be precise, you have not experienced this feature yet ? This is a very good feature and is being waited for by a lot of people in Windows 10 Version 1803 Build 17666.

Let me say this simple for you guys easier to imagine. Sets feature in Windows 10 is exactly like when you use Tabs in a web browser. What does that mean?

Instead of opening each folder, each software runs on each tab separately as before, now you can group tabs together. This is really great, it helps you not feel cluttered and uncomfortable working anymore.

Perhaps, for example, Demo a picture to give you a better understanding of the problem that you are trying to say:

how-to-use-sets-sets-gop-tab-on-win-10-1

As you can see in the picture above, I’m leaving tabs like EasyBCD software, Microsoft Edget web browser, Desktop screen, * .txt file…. on that same window.

=> That, looking at the pictures, you will immediately understand ?

One more thing you need to know is, the Sets feature was born to make use of the keys Alt + Tab change. Now shortcut Alt + Tab will be used to switch between application windows, instead of the individual tabs it did before.

I. What applications does the Sets feature support?

Sets feature on Windows 10 not only supports running with Apps on Windows 10, but it also supports all software that you have installed on your computer. As long as that App remains the default, do not edit the run window.

Applications without Windows title bars are not supported. For example, Google Chrome, FireFox, iTunes … I hope until the official release of Windows 10 Build 17666, Microsoft will support these software applications.

II. How do I use the Sets feature in Windows 10?

Okay, so the question is, how do I use Sets feature in Windows 10? Currently, I propose to you 3 options for you to choose from.

Option 1: Safe, but it takes time

Wait! Yes, as I said above. This Sets feature will be available in version Windows 10 Version 1803 Build 17666 Upcoming. The release schedule is scheduled for the end of 2018!

I have already upgraded Windows to Windows 10 Version 1803 Build 17672.1000 ? Currently since registering Windows Insider, I have not participated as an internal Windows user, and the upgrade process is also very convenient.

+ Step 3: Now that is easy, you can open any application. Then click on the sign + to add a New Tab.

At the moment I test, by default when opening a new Tab, the default window is opened will be Microsoft Edge browser. And I still haven’t found a way to change the default open apps ?

Hopefully in the future, MS will let us customize this part.

Alternatively, you can use drag and drop to group tabs together so that they share a single window. For example, as shown below.

After drag and drop, the results will be as follows:

That, in general, the usage is no different from the way you use Tabs in the web browser. Also a very interesting feature is, mute for each Tab on Windows.

If the tab has a reputation, it will have the icon LOAYou just need to tap on that icon to turn on / off quickly.
