  1. Messed up separator lines in tabbed File Explorer


    So, I've had this issue a few months ago when I was using Windows Insider builds, but the issue is only present when the new Tabs feature is present in file Explorer. Since then, I have done a complete fresh reinstall on a new NVME drive. But with the latest Windows update non-Insider update the issue is back.Basically I get messed up separator lines in my Libraries as in the image below.I find it hard to believe it's a random glitch, since it's happened on 2 completely different installs.

    QUESTION/suggestion:
    * Why not remember the last active tab?
    For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

    Does that make sense?
     
  3. How to not separate pictures and videos in File Explorer?

    Hi.

    If Date Modified doesn't show on the options when you choose Sort by, we suggest that you perform this steps:

    • In File Explorer, select the folder you want to have changes with.
    • Right-click and select Sort by.
    • Select More, then check if the Date modified option has a check mark.
    • Click OK, then try to perform again the steps provided by Acelyn Alc.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Line spacing in File Explorer List View

    Hi, I also have 1903 without that separation. Try comparing what this free reputable tweak tool (with full explanations) shows:

    If you have a good idea when this happened, you could also consider using an appropriate System Restore point if you have that enabled.
