    File Explorer address bar dropdown only shows 2 paths


    Hi,How is the number paths in File Explorer's address bar dropdown controlled? I have not been able to find any information on this. For me recently upgraded to Windows 11, I only see 2-3 paths which is nearly useless. I would like to set the number of recent paths that are shown in the dropdown to 10 or even 20. How can I do this?Thanks!

    :)

    Dropdown showing document path

    In Mac, you can right-click on the filenamein the title bar of a document window and get a dropdown menu showing all the enclosing folders in the file path of the document. Furthermore, you can select from that dropdown to open that enclosing folder.
    Is there a way to do this in Windows?
    Yes, I know that you can do Save As, but that is more steps than I would like and also that doesn't allow me to open any of the enclosing folders easily.

    "wrong path" after running command via address bar in explorer

    after I run a command via the address bar in an explorer window, the path shown in the address bar will point to the command and not to the current folder

    is there any known fix how to prevent this?

    steps to reproduce:

    1. open explorer
    2. place cursor into address bar
    3. run command (e.g cmd)
    4. place cursor into adress bar -> path will point to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

    Using the file explorer address bar

    I don't remember seeing this before either. Perhaps now what happens when using a local account?
