Minutes later the tweet was deleted but not before Windows Central and several Windows enthusiast Twitter accounts had spotted it.

If Microsoft does implement tabs for Notepad, it will be the first built-in tool to have a tabbed interface, following the addition of tabs to File Explorer earlier this year, reported The Verge.

Microsoft first tried tabs across all Windows 10 apps in a feature called Sets four years ago. This contained tab functionality in Notepad and File Explorer, however, Microsoft halted the project and never released it to Windows 10 customers. WhatsApp New Feature Update: Messaging Platform to Allow Users to Log Into App From Secondary Device Via 6-Digit Code, Here's How It Will Work.
