Microsoft is quietly working on another small but welcome design refresh for Windows 11. The company appears to be modernizing the Temporary Files storage settings page, giving one of the operating system’s most useful cleanup tools a more up-to-date interface.
The change has been spotted hidden in Windows 11 build 26340.9354, where Microsoft is testing a feature internally identified as RejuvenateTempFilesMainPage, with feature ID 61456288.
The feature is not broadly available yet, meaning Insiders may not see it even after installing the latest build. It is currently part of Microsoft’s ongoing work to refresh different areas of Windows 11.
Windows 11’s Temporary Files page is getting a makeover
The Temporary Files section is an important part of Windows 11’s Storage settings. It provides users with an overview of files that can potentially be removed to recover disk space.
Microsoft’s current Storage experience already breaks down storage usage into categories such as Temporary files, Installed apps, System & reserved, and other types of content.
The new work suggests Microsoft wants the Temporary Files page itself to better fit the modern Windows 11 Settings experience.
Rather than introducing a completely new storage-management feature, this appears to be primarily a UI and experience modernization. The goal is to make the page cleaner, easier to understand and more consistent with Microsoft’s newer Settings designs.
Why the Temporary Files page matters
Temporary files can accumulate over time from Windows updates, cached data, previous installations, diagnostic information and other system activities.
Windows already provides several ways to manage this data. Users can manually open Settings > System > Storage > Temporary files, while Storage Sense can automatically remove unnecessary temporary files when storage becomes limited.
Microsoft also recommends Storage Sense as a way to automatically free up space that may be needed for Windows updates.
That makes the Temporary Files page one of the more practical parts of the Settings app, particularly on PCs with limited SSD capacity.
Part of Microsoft’s broader Windows 11 Settings refresh
The Temporary Files redesign fits into a much bigger effort to modernize Windows 11’s Settings experience.
Recent Insider work has touched several Settings areas, including Sound, Privacy & security, device information and storage-related experiences. Build 26340.9354, released to the Experimental channel, also includes a number of other Settings and system-management changes.
Microsoft appears to be gradually replacing older or inconsistent interfaces instead of attempting one massive redesign all at once.
The Temporary Files page is therefore a relatively small change, but it could make an everyday Windows task feel considerably more polished.
The feature is still hidden
It’s important to note that RejuvenateTempFilesMainPage is not a finished feature for everyone yet.
Microsoft frequently hides unfinished Windows features behind feature flags while it works on them internally. Some of these experiments eventually reach Windows Insiders, while others can be changed, delayed or removed before a public release.
For now, the modernized Temporary Files experience should therefore be viewed as work in progress, rather than something Microsoft has officially promised for the next Windows 11 update.
Windows 11 is slowly making Storage feel more modern
The Storage section has become increasingly important as Microsoft adds more automated tools for managing disk space. Storage Sense can already handle certain cleanup tasks automatically, while Cleanup recommendations can identify files and applications that may be safe to remove.
Refreshing the Temporary Files page is a logical next step.
It may not be the kind of Windows 11 feature that grabs headlines on its own, but these smaller interface improvements can make the operating system easier to use on a daily basis.
Microsoft is clearly not finished modernizing Windows 11’s Settings app, and the Temporary Files page could be the next small but useful piece of that ongoing refresh.
