    setting default view for Winodws Explorer Search Reasults

    Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

    • Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
    • In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
      to change the view.
    • Once changed, close the File Explorer.
    • Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

    After performing the steps above, reply back to us so we can provide additional help.

    setting default view for Winodws Explorer Search Reasults

    I have Windows 10 Pro 64-bit version 1709 OS Build 16299.64 installed. I was trying to set the default view for the search results window to "list" view rather then 'Content', so I don't have to right-click in the window and select "View->List" every time
    I use the search feature.

    Change the Default Search View to Detail View (not Content View)

    How to make details view default view for windows 10?

    How do get rid of the icons and make detail view the default view on my windows 10 desktop? The following article suggests that using ctrl+shift+6 will do this, but I have been unsuccessful in getting this key sequence to work.

    https://winaero.com/blog/set-details-content-or-list-view-for-desktop-icons-in-windows-10/

    Is it possible to show details view only or not?

    thanks for any help.
