Task Manager has been redesigned with a new sidebar navigation that automatically collapses when you shrink the window. Common actions such as End Task and Run new task have been moved to the top of the interface.

File Explorer now has a tabbed interface, so just like a web browser you can now have multiple file explorers open under one window which is a lot tidier.
The new File Explorer also has an updated sidebar navigation that groups different areas of the files system e.g. local files / OneDrive etc.

The new Snap Layouts Bar which appears when you start to drag and reposition a window allows you to quickly and easily reposition a window in a preset location just by dragging it over the icon shown on the bar (as shown in the example images below), this is an enhanced version of the existing Snap Layout feature which was new to Windows 11.
Other improvements to Snap include the keyboard shortcuts, now if you press Win + Z to show the Snap layouts window they appear with numbers and you can press the numbers to quickly move the active window to the selected location.
