    This worked in Windows 10 with no difficulty. You could type or paste a path and hit Enter, and the file explorer window would go to that path, but in Windows 11, the path displayed doesn't change when I hit Enter.

    Disable File Explorer Address Bar Path History?

    Hello, After entering a file path manually in File Explorer, the entry is kept in the dropdown list of the address bar until I go to View > Options > Clear File Explorer History. I'd like Windows to never store these paths, if possible. I have successfully disabled autocomplete via the registry using the following guide, but it doesn't prevent the history of file paths to be stored: Turn On or Off Inline AutoComplete in File Explorer and Run Dialog I've searched and searched but can't find a solution to this, yet. Hopefully someone has something to suggest that I haven't tried. I know it's possible, since I believe I had it working on my last Win10 machine, but I'm not sure how I did it. Thanks in advance!

    How to have full path always show in Address bar in file explorer?

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    You can change the Windows 11 File Explorer address bar to show the full file path by following these steps:

    1. Open File Explorer.
    2. Click on the three-dot menu icon located at the top right of the window.
    3. Click on 'Options'.
    4. In the 'Folder Options' window that appears, go to the 'View' tab.
    5. In the 'Advanced settings' list, find and check the 'Display the full path in the title bar' option.
    6. Click 'Apply', then 'OK'.

    Please let me know how it goes, or if you need further assistance.

    Best regards

    Disable File Explorer Address Bar Path History?

    I tried looking online for you, but only found what was suggested/mentioned above. Yet, I found a quicker way to clear the history rather than going into Folder Options: Right-click on the Address Bar, and press this:
