Windows 10: File explorer option 'Select the typed item in the view tab' too fast

In File explorer option 'Select the typed item in the view tab': When typing more than one letter I find that unless typing extremely fast Windows jumps to a file before I have typed in all the letters I want. Ususally I can only get 3 or 4 letters in maximum.Is there a way to make this more accessible to a slower typing rate without switching to the option 'Automatically type into the Search Box'. Then doing the search and right clicking 'Open file location'.

File Explorer Icons in View tab

The View tab in File Explorer shows the Small Icon choice when viewing file lists. But it unselects itself when I view lists in different folders.
The automatic-deselection process doesn’t happen with other icons I’ve selected (the Preview Icon, for example).

How do I get the icon to always remain selected for the file list in any folder I might open?

Moved from: Office / Unknown/other / Windows 10 / Office 365 Home

 

Is there a way to make File Explorer open with the view tab as default

When I open Win10's File Explorer, the default tab is always set to the "Home" tab. Is there a way to set the "View" tab as the default tab?

Reason I want File Explorer to open with the "View" tab active is that I want to be able to select "List" view or "Detail" view without having to first click the "View" tab.

Thanks,
