    Cannot change settings in File Explorer


    I have the same problem as reported in this thread: Why doesn't "Compact view" in File Explorer work any more? - Microsoft CommunityI cannot enable compact mode and remove checkboxes.It seems it could be related to a conflict between tablet and keyboard mode. The thing is that my Acer Swift X 16 doesn't support the tablet mood.So, what could cause this issue? And how to solve it?Thanks!

    :)

    File explorer settings change on their own.: If I set a specific folder to sort by date modified, it remains that way, unless I open a subfolder, then it resets to sort by name on return.
