    File Explorer Jumps to top


    My Windows 10 pro OS just did an automatic update, now I have an issue with File Explorer. When I try to use the scroll bar to look through a folder, as I try to scroll down, the screen constantly jumps back to the top of the page. This makes it impossible to look thru the files toward the bottom. This only started after the update. How do I fix this?

    :)

    Win Explorer - Cursor jumps to bottom or top of file

    When I open Win Explorer with the intention of searching/browsing my files, the cursor will jump to the bottom of the list of files within 10 seconds of opening Explorer. Also, if I enter a previously opened Explorer and if I am near the bottom, the cursor
    will often jump to the top. In either case, I must relocate the cursor to the correct area and start browsing again. I wish you could fix this with a update instead of waiting for a next issue of Windows.

    Thx

  3. File Explorer Jumping To Top of List Every Few Seconds

    I followed your instructions step by step, restarted the computer, then went to “File Explorer” and opened up my “Pictures” folder I scrolled down about half way and waited for it to jump back to the top. After a minute or two it DID NOT jump back to
    the top. The only problem now is all of my thumbnails of photos are just icons now that look like a small sheet of paper with the top right corner folded over with JPEG written in bold letters through the middle of it.

    How do I get the pictures back?

    Windows 10 File Explorer "jumps" to top of long list of files

    This is one of the most annoying problems I've encountered with Windows 10. When looking at a long list of files using the File Explorer, no matter what I want to look at, it quickly jumps back to the top of the list. I know this is not a new problem (my
    search shows a complaint from July 31, 2015). An answer to that complain posting was to "turn off the Automatic Accent Color for your backgrounds." That's not acceptable. I like the color changing automatically (what the hell does that have to do with the
    File Explorer "jumping"? Is there another work-around, or is this just another ever continuing screw up by Microsoft?
