  2. "Shift + Ctrl + Numbers" thumbnail view shortcut in file explorer of windows 10 1511 not working

    Hi Mohak,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the Shift + Ctrl + Number shortcut fails to work on Windows 10 after update. I will certainly help you.

    As initial troubleshooting, I suggest you to check other keyboard shortcuts like
    Shift + Caps Lock, Ctrl + P, Ctrl + Shift + Esc are working like it should.

    Similarly check whether Shift + Ctrl + 3, 4,
    5, 6, 7, 8 keyboard shortcuts which customizes the File Explorer view are working.

    Follow the below steps and check if it resolves the issue.

    Step 1:

    1. Right click on Start, navigate to
    Control Panel
    > File Explorer Options.

    2. Click on General and View
    tab and click on Restore Defaults > Apply >
    OK
    .

    Please post back with the status of the issue and we will be glad to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Windows 10 File Explorer shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+'n' stopped working

    Hi

    The extremely useful shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+'n') within File Explorer has suddenly stopped working.

    There was an automatic Windows update a few days ago and I believe the last time I used the shortcuts was before this update. These shortcuts worked as follows...

    Ctrl+Shift+1 Change View to Extra Large Icons

    Ctrl+Shift+2 Change View to Large Icons

    Ctrl+Shift+3 Change View to Medium Icons

    Ctrl+Shift+4 Change View to Small Icons

    Ctrl+Shift+5 Change View to List View

    Ctrl+Shift+6 Change View to Details View

    Elsewhere I have seen a couple of other Windows 10 users reporting the same issue but I have not yet tracked down a fix.

    As far as I can tell all of my other keyboard shortcuts are working.

    I am on a 9 month old Dell Inspiron 17 5770 Laptop.

    Is there a setting I can apply to get the shortcuts back please?

    Thanks in advance

    Rick
