Windows 10: Remove "Items" Pane on the Side of Files

Greetings,I am having bit of an issue. Somehow, a while back, I accidentally activated the "Items" pane on Files. I am not too sure how I even did that and I tried to figure out how to remove it - I cannot. I tried to just get use to it being there but it is an obstacle since sometimes it gets in the way of me quickly viewing my files in minimized tabs. How can I remove this?Here is an image regarding this for a better grasp down below:Thank you for your time, all assistance is appreciated!

Preview pane not functional / causing system issues

Hi,

We can see here that you're having an issue with using the preview pane for File Explorer. Since using the preview pane affects the CPU usage when trying to view Office files, we could suggest that you changed your File Explorer View setting into the Navigation
pane by performing the following steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• Click on the View tab.
• Select Preview pane to remove it from being highlighted.

Once done, try to open files using Office apps and check if this helps your Surface Pro 4 works fine.

We look forward to your reply.
