TC9 má jiný vzhled. Ghisler přidal novou sadu ikon. Složky a jednotky vypadají jako v Průzkumníku ve Windows, ostatní ikonky jsou také modernější. Kdo chce, může zůstat u starých. Při prvním spuštění vám k tomu program vyzve. Ikonky se nově zobrazují i v záložkách, ale i ty lze vypnout. Dále přibyl vertikální panel zobrazený mezi dvěma souborovými panely. Obsahuje šest tlačítek pro práci se soubory, přidat můžete i další. Nebo panel zrušit, protože k těm příkazům stejně znáte klávesové zkratky. Ve výchozím stavu je nově zvoleno písmo Segoe.
Myší lze označit více souborů najednou stejně jako ve Windows. Velikosti je možné zobrazit i v terabajtech. Nově lze také nastavit, že 1 kB = 1000 B místo 1024 B. Dále přibyly tzv. view modes, jakési profily zobrazení, ve kterých si zvolíte, jak má správce vypadat. Každý z profilů může používat jiné barvy, typ zobrazení obsahu, třídění souborů/složek. Uživatel si tak bude moci vytvořit například denní a noční téma.
Total Commander si opět můžete dle libosti upravit
TC9 obsahuje nové druhy kontrolních součtů (SHA224, SHA384, SHA3_256 atd.). U spojení FTPS a HTTPS podporuje protokoly TLS 1.1 a 1.2. Umí už také využít certifikáty uložené ve Windows (ROOT a CA). „Devítka“ vylepšuje i nástroje pro hromadné přejmenování, porovnávání složek a také vyhledávač. Rozbalovač ZIPu podporuje novou kompresi XZ.
