    I want my old File Explorer back...


    Since updating, my file explorer is a mess. I can't find any of my files unless I used them recently. I've just wasted an hour trying to get it back to normal with none of the 'fixes' on the internet working. I can't see how this upgrade is beneficial and better than the old version. At first, I thought my pc had been infected with a virus as it looks so weird and not good. Will this be fixed in the next upgrade as I can't see how it is better than the old version, it just takes longer to find things.Can anyone tell me a fix that has worked please as it is getting really annoying now?Thank yo

    :)
