Windows 10: File Explorer: can't get files in sub folders to adopt same display/view

File Explorer:Files view is currently "detailed" and I want all files in sub folders to be "list" view.

I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

I want to change file explorer view for Downloads folder

Currently my Downloads folder in File Explorer shows sub-headings like Today and Last month. I would like to change it to a straight list without sub-headings. I've fiddled unsuccessfully with the View options. This is the only folder where this happens,
and I'd like to lose it. But how?

 

Anyone knows what these files are?

Those are Super Hidden Files which as the name implies files which are hidden from the user even more than normal hidden files.

Even if you enable the ability to view hidden files and folders in Explorer these super hidden files/folders will still not be displayed.
