Windows 10: How do I get Explorer in Windows 11 to display the plus signs allowing me to expand folders?

I recently had to replace my old Windows 7 computer lightning strike. I now have a new Desktop running Windows 11.I have discovered that unlike Windows 7, when I open Windows Explorer there are no plus signs next to folders which have one or more subfolders. This is extremely disconcerting. I am learning the differences between Windows 7 and 11, and have been able to work around the differences and in some cases I have actually found solutions via searches. Unfortunately, I have not found a solution or workaround to this. Please help if you can.

Expanding folders in file explorer

Hi,

In answer to your query, yes, there's an option to change the Folder View Options of your File Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• Click File tab.
• Select Change folder and search options.
• Click View tab.
• Under Advanced settings, scroll down to Navigation pane.
• Check Expand to open folder, Show all folders, and
  Show libraries.

You can also check all the options, and set it up the way you wanted.
