  1. How to modify search order for ALL folders


    What I mean by this is when you right-click in a folder, there is an option "More" By default, the only time-based sorting is data modified which takes very long, sometimes half a minute and from what I read is this because it opens every file, the better alternative that I like is date created but that needs to be manually added, That's fine but it needs to be manually added for EVERY FOLDER you want it in. The solution that I looked up was to change the sorting when the files and folders are in the "details" layout but not to change it for the right-click "sort by" menu. I use the "Large Ico

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
