    Changing desktop view to list or details not working


    I cannot get my desktop files to display in a list or details view. Ctrl+Shift+1 through 4 does work. The icons change from small to large.But Ctrl+Shift+5 through 9 does not work. I cannot get a list view or a details view.I'm using the numbers above the letter keys. The same thing happens if I hold 0. How can I get details view to work on my desktop?Version 19044.2130

    Desktop icon list view not work?

    Lol. Of course MS responds with suggestions that you broke something. MS broke this with the Creators Update. They pretty much broke desktop icons altogether (probably doing some dumb crap for touch interface). I am really angry about this seeing as how
    the ability to view your desktop as a list with details was just about the only great UI advancement in Windows 10. There used to be a Windows 7 addon that would get your icons as a list and of course this no longer works either. Awful because I am one of
    those weirdos that uses my desktop as a working desktop and this has hit my productivity as I now have to change my workflow. Thanks MS. You're the best.

    Desktop icon list view not work?

    Hi, i have the same issue. Ctrl+6/5 doesn't work. That's not what i expect. I really need list view on desktop. Even detailed list view could be of use at some point.
