Windows 10: File Explorer Column Type Stuck on PNG and JPG

I tried to look for a specific photo on my downloads folder by using the type column and now I can't get rid of it as every time I click on downloads it shows pngs and jpgs first making me have to deselect it to see everything in that section. Is there a way to disable this or revert it back?Link to photo cause this website wouldn't upload it on here for some reason

:)

 

How do I change what is listed in the Type column in Windows Explorer?

Hi, if you wish to look a little deeper you could use this free program - here I've chosen zip as this shows the text appearing in file explorer's file type column clearly under Description, shown in explorer at the bottom of the screenshot.





You can also see further details of course, such as the associated program.

Whilst the program also lets you change those fields, I wouldn't suggest that here, although that would be 'safer' and easier than using a registry editor- better to try completely uninstalling those programs as suggested above, or succeeding in properly reassociating the relevant file types.
