Windows 10: After Windows 10 update: File Explorer is now showing up with double spaces

Yesterday there was a required windows update. When I logged onto my computer I notices that the File Explorer views were changed. I had to remove the view that allows for checking off each folder dont like it and I also noticed that the spaces between the list of folders increased significantly. This means I need to scroll down more often to find folders and I am unable to get quicker overviews of what is saved under each folder. I have tried to customize my folder views but there does not seem to be an option to remove the double spaces. Can someone help me get rid of these spaces?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Viewing File Explorer as single spacing instead of double spacing

File Explorer (the [unnecessary] new name for Windows Explorer in W10) displays files and folders in a double-space format, which means the screen can only show half as many lines as it could if it were single spaced. How do I change it to single space?

 

Viewing File Explorer as single spacing instead of double spacing

No, the File Explorer in W10 continues to display file names in

a double-space format, such as the one I am typing

here. There is no way that I can find that will enable displaying them as

single spaced lines, and the one suggestion I got was not useful.

Kind of a useless "feature" don't you think, especially if you are

searching through a long list of files for one particular file.

Similarly, dropping color coding for all Office applications now deprives me

of a real feature that I have used to great effect for years and through several

versions of Windows and Office Outlook, especially in organizing Notes by categories, and Contacts by type.

Lastly, now I notice in Outlook Emails, the Delete, Respond, Read/Unread Toggle, Move, and Followup icons are no longer with each email (where there is PLENTY of room) to the right-hand margin, where one has to mouse over to them. Really? Perhaps someone
could forward these observations/complaints to the graphics people who keep churning out unnecessary changes.

And I would really like to get these three elements back. I suppose some folks don't need the (for example) color coding, or mind (for example) the double spacing file lists. Why not put these decisions in the Options popup?

Thanks,
