Windows 10: "compact view" in File Explorer is not working in Win 11

I am not able to turn on compact view or turn off the checkboxes in windows explorer. I created a new windows user account and logged into that and the compact view turns off and on as expected. Does that mean that my primary windows user profile is corrupt? How do I fix it? Thx!

Why isn't "compact view" in File Explorer working?

I can't get "compact view" in file explorer to work. It says it's on everywhere I check. I've even checked the registry editor to make sure it's on. It's all good. But for some reason, despite being "on," my files still do not show up in compact view.

 

compact view in Windows Explorer doesn't work anymore.

Here is two example of Windows 11 File Explorer with setting 'View / Details'.

On left is default mode (stupid choice for default) and right has *Compact' mode' turn on'.

As you can see long list of files / folders use lot of space in default mode because of spacing between lines.

 

Can't enable "compact view" (Windows 11)

(Windows 11 on laptop. ) Suddenly, I can't enable "Compact View" in File Explorer. I've done everything possible, incl. making sure "View" settings are set to"Compact View" and making sure the box is checked in "Folder Options," but nothing changes. Do I need to make a registry change? If so, please provide instructions.
