Windows 10: Format of File Explorer changed on me.

I'm not visual, so it's difficult to explain how my File Explorer used to look, but one thing for sure is that there was a little icon somewhere in the upper right where I could easily change the type of display of files, Extra Large Icons, Large Icons, Detail... etc. Now I have to choose the View menu to find those choices. My current view is dark blue across the top. I don't think that was the case before. Can I get back to the view with the quick way to change the display?

Changing Time Format

Hi Mary,

There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
  Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
  Region window.
• From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
• Click Reset; then, OK.

The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .
