No Tabbed Explorer in my 22H2


I am on Win 11 22621.755. Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22636.1000.0.
I have been looking forward to tabbed file explorer from some time. Tried various beta and insider builds. Did nothing. All I have had was right click>open in new tab
Clean installed with the new cumulative update KB5018496 (replacement of earlier KB5019509).
There was a lot of hype about new features like tabs in FE, and many other features. But I dont see any of those things on my new W11 build.
Tried Vivetool using various tutorials nothing happened. It says successfully changed configuration and Vivetool says it is enabled. All I have is right click>open in new tab
Does anyone here have any insights. Thanks.

I have three machines updated to 22H2. Two of them have tabbed explorer...one of them does not. It's obviously well past the OCT update so I don't think that's it. Ideas of how to get tabbed file explorer working?

How to enable tabs for File Explorer on Windows 11 - Pureinfotech

To enable tabs on File Explorer, install the latest Windows 11 22H2 update, or use the vivetool /enable /id:39145991 37634385 36354489 command

Click to expand...
I had already read that pureinfotech tutorial and various other older tutorials using Vivetool and have been trying it according to the instructions provided, on my two machines with various 22621 builds many times with clean install, during the last one month or so.
One of my machine is running the latest build 22621.755 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22636.1000.0 with KB5018496 update the other one is on Windows Insider latest beta build. But no tabs in FE. Vive tool shows the features are enabled. I cant figure out how MS is rolling out these features .

Yep...it appears that was the culprit. One machine was delayed getting that update. I was able to get Windows Update to "offer it" and after install, tabbed explorer is now there. Thanks.

Since my File Explorer tab shows that I'm currently looking at a folder in local OneDrive, tapping on that dropdown button gives me additional information about my cloud OneDrive storage.

It only appears if you are looking at something in your local OneDrive folder and, of course, if you have OneDrive storage.

Specifically, it's for OneDrive and only shows in the OneDrive folder, so if you're not using OneDrive, you probably won't have it...
