Windows 10: How do I turn off the Status column in Windows 11.

I do not need to see the "status" column. Please advise how to turn it off. I have tried every instruction I can find.

"Status" column in File Explorer in Windows 10

I verified that the view option "Always show availability status" and "Show status bar" were cleared, but the "Status" column is still showing. I selected the two options, applied the changes and then cleared both of the options and applied the changes,
but the "Status" column still appears.



As you can see, the parameter is not selected, but the "Status" column is still visible.





Here are my guesses:

• MS has another bug in the software
• MS has made the column permanent
• Changes to what I see in File Explorer are applied, but are not being retained
• There is another way to turn off the "Status" column

Thanks for your help.

 

Windows Explorer Status column

Hi

I just redid my system and I must have accidentally selected OneDrive as now all my files and folders seem to have double arrows in a circle refresh icon similar to the below image





See the below screen shot for what I mean





How do I get rid of these arrows not just in the column as shown but also along side file and folder names of alot of my files. Just to the left of the file name.

I have turned off OneDrive in the settings and I have also change explorer settings by going into OPTIONS in VIEW and in the view tab I scroll down to where it says

ALWAYS SHOW AVAILABILITY STATUS

It was unchecked to begin with so I tried checking it then applying and then unchecking and applying and it refuses to remove the status icons and column.

I have also tried to remove the status column by right clicking the column title bar and unchecking status and it removes it but when I reopen explorer the column is right back there.

What do I need to do to get rid of this icon?

UPDATE: I also checked the registry and the setting is showing as 0 in the following listing

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

NavPaneShowAllCloudStates

Thanks

 

"Status" column in File Explorer in Windows 10

I do not need to see the "Status" column. When I open the list of available columns, I clear the checkmark from the "Status" option. When I go back in to the folder the "Status column appears again. I've tried rebooted after the change, but the column is
still there. There is no indication as to what status it's even providing. Is it stating that the folder/file is available, that's it's shared … what? What does a green check mark in the 'Status" column indicate. This issue only pertains to my local folders
and files. The "Status" column is not even an option for any of the folders and files on the network (please refer to the screen captures).

How do I turn off the "Status" column so that it no longer appears?

"Status column is visible.





Changing setting to not see "Status"





The "Status" option is no longer selected





The "Status" column is no longer visible





When I leave the folder and go back in to it, the "Status" columns appears … AGAIN.
