Windows 10: "Optimize this folder for" not working in Windows 11

I have tried everything I can find on this forum and others. I keep changing my settings for folders ie..."General Items" to "Documents", or "Pictures" but as soon as I recheck the properties, Windows automatically switches it back to "General Items" The main reason I do this is because I HATE the "Details" view, which is the default view. Drives me crazy I like the "List" view for documents and regular files, and of course, the "Large Icons" view for graphics and photos. In my research I have seen this problem mentioned in forums going back as far as 2013 and Windows 7, 8, & 10.

How to optimize view of folders on Android phone?

Problem summary: Can't optimize view of folders on Android phone. Ultimate objective is in Windows Explorer to be able to see "Date", "Date created", "Date modified", and "Date taken".

Steps

1. Connect Android10 phone to Win10 laptop via USB
   
2. On Win10 laptop, open Windows Explorer
   
3. Navigate to any folder on phone
   
4. Right-click on [Folder]
   
5. Select "Properties"
   

Results

• Expected = "Customize" tab appears. Can select it, optimize folder for "Pictures", then display "Date", "Date created", "Date modified", and "Date taken".
  
• Actual = Only "General" tab appears.
  

Notes

• Windows Explorer appears to by default optimize all folders for "Music". Ex: If "Details" are selected, then visible columns correspond to "Music" folders, e.g., "Artist", "Track Number".
  

 

Change Folder View Layout in Windows 10


"uhm that method does not work. i want to set folder view as List as default instead Details for all folders"
Did you download and run Brink's .bat file in Step 1 ? Lacking that, look at the screens in post 3. In Step 5 'folders of this type' defaults to each of the Windows templates for Pictures, Music, etc. If you want ALL folders to have the same List view, r-click any folder in each of the 5 folders under This PC (Desktop does not apply) and hit 'Customize this folder'. Set to 'Optimize this folder for General Items". Then follow the screen in post 3 using List instead of Details in Step 1 and you should be good to go.
