Windows 10: How do I get back the drop down arrows in my windows file explorer?

I updated to windows 11 a while back. Then windows kept prompting me to shutdown and update so I did and now The navigation arrows that reveal the contents of folders in file explorer have disappeared completely. The only way to see the contents is to double click the folder.

Back arrow

In Internet Explorer, when my cursor hovered over the "Back" arrow, a list of recent pages would drop down. I can't make this happen with Edge. Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Windows 10 File Explorer Filter Feature using down arrow next to column header titles not working

Re: Windows 10, File Explorer, Filter Feature using the arrow next to column headers.

9/25/2016

Windows 10 using File Explorer, Filter Feature, using the arrow next to header titles, not listing anything, not working. The arrows are there next to the column headings, but nothing happens, it does not list any drop down options to choose from.

Is there a setting in file explorer that turns on/ or off this filter feature, or should I re-set something in file explorer, ect...?

Or Is there a driver that can be update?

I am using View Mode -> details.

I have tried using administrator C:\Windows\system32>sfc/scannow 3 times did not help.

The message I got was "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations".

I really like use this feature a lot, it just stopped working recently, I think the problem came after 1,2,or 3 of the last windows update?

I really like using file explorer filter feature by just clicking the arrows next to the column headers.

Pls anyone with a suggestion to fix would be appreciated.

Advance Thanks,

Rene
