  1. File Explorer home cannot change view


    I cannot change the view in file explorer home as it only gives me tiles or content view and when i switch between the two nothing happens. It always showed large icons which its not showing the option to change it to that and it keeps grouping them and are unable to be ungrouped. It should look like the bottom folders.

    :)
