  1. Incorrect results from file explorer in Windows 11


    When OneDrive can't merge files, it create a duplicate and affixes the computer name on the end. This happens annoyingly often, and you can end up with thousands of unwanted duplicate files. In the past, I have searched for that computer name on my D drive, found all the files and deleted them in one go.This is now not working. My search term is "Kevin-PC", both with and without quotation marks. In both cases, I get around 70000 hits, the vast majority of which do not have the search term in the name. I have "File contents" unchecked in the search options. I hope to be able to attach a screens

    :)

    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

    Hi Chris,

    Incorrect File Explorer settings are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. We recommend changing some view settings in File Explorer and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Open File/Windows Explorer.
    • Click the View tab.
    • Click Navigation pane.
    • Check Expand to open folder and Navigation pane.
    Keep us in the loop with the result.
