Files apps go from UWP to WinAppSDK, some Window 10 features get Windows 11 touch

Last month, the Files app, winner of the 2022 Microsoft Store Award for Best File Management, received a preview update. In that update, apps migrated from UWP to the more modern Windows App SDK. Now, update version 2.4 is out of preview and available for download.

In addition to this, the latest update also contains many changes, fixes and improvements. For example, the Files app on Windows 10 now has a Windows 11-style grid and details layout with rounded corners. So, if you are still a Windows 10 user and like the look and feel of Windows 11, you can try this update.
