  1. File Explorer opens in 'Detail' mode


    I'm working on a project that I was working on prior to upgrading to Windows 11. Now when I open it the folders open in "Detail" mode instead of 'Large Icons". I set it to 'Large Icons'. A few hours later when I open it again it's back to "Detail'. Is it possible to set my File Explorer default to 'Large Icons'?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. File explorer will not open on windows 10

    In this case, it's possible that the File Explorer is set to open an incorrect/corrupted file location. To rule out folder path related issues, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Type Control Panel in the search box. From the search result, click
      Control Panel.
    • Select Small icons from the View by: drop-down list located on the top right side of the window.
    • Select File Explorer Options.
    • Under the General tab, select This
      PC
      from the Open File Explorer to: drop-down list.
    • Click OK.

    Once you're done, open File Explorer again and check if the issue persists.

    Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.

    File Explorer Will Not Open

    I tried theses steps, and the issue doesn't happen in safe mode, but still happens in clean boot. And in addition to file explorer not opening, if I right click on a folder the file explorer will crash.
