    Opening multiple windows with Windows Explorer


    It seems kinda random to me but mostly when I open a second window it opens on top the the first window, but some times it opens next to the first window. Is there any way that could be made default?

    :)

    Can not open multiple File Explorer Tabs in Windows 10

    I need to open multiple views of my file explorer as I need to transfer files to folders and I can not open multiple file explorer instances to do this easily. Sometimes it works and then it doesn't.

    Normally I can just right click with my mouse and open multiple views of the file explorer but in the upgrade to windows 10 this is not working very well.

    Can someone help please?

    Opening multiple windows with Windows Explorer

    How do you open a second window - by pressing and holding the Shift button?

    Normally by pressing Flag+E, pressing and holding the Shift key does nothing for me.

    Sorry, I've forgotten to add: by pressing and holding the Shift key and clicking on Explorer's folder icon.
