Windows 10: Navigation pane keeps expanding folders

I have noticed that lately, the navigation pane has been expanding folders when opening them.

That option is disabled in folder view settings.

Its really annoying, any ideas?

Navigation Pane - Will Not Expand to Open Folder

Hello cDreamDancer, *Smile

If you haven't already, you might see if you may be able to use an option in the tutorial below to toggle and turn on "Expand to current folder".

File Explorer navigation pane sometimes expands to show all folders and sometimes consolidates shows only the selected folder

Both the folders that expand fully and those that partially expand have exactly the same settings, which are as you suggested, so this didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?

 

Expand File Explorer Navigation Pane

Now and then I want to view the full folder tree in Navigation Pane of File Explorer. There are some options to keep the folder tree open, but most of the time they are a pain in the butt. When I do want the tree visible, I have to go to the root disk
and open each parent folder independently (generally at least half a dozen). Is there a quick way to ask window to open the tree, only when I want it shown?

I know there is an option to show all folders, but this makes the navigation pane un-navigable and useless

Folder Options / View Tab / Navigation pane/ Show all folders

Another option is better, but becomes a nuisance when used all the time.

Folder Options / View Tab / Navigation pane/ Expand to open folder

The handiest would be a right-click option to "Expand Folder Tree".
