    Get back File Explorer Menu in Windows 11


    Just upgraded to Windows 11 and now I see that the NORMAL, STANDARD File Explorer menu system is gone. The new one is not an improvement, in fact I think it is terrible. Why didn't they at least offer the option to switch between the old and new? How do I get the old one back? What on earth prompted Microsoft to abandon the standard menu? I'd really like to know, why do they think the new one is better? I hope they are not planning on replacing all the Microsoft Office products with this type of menu.

    :)

    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
