    Same computer models, same Windows version, different appearance?


    I have two of the same HP All-in-One computers that are both running the same version of Windows (AE), but when I open explorer the views are different. One shows icons under Quick Access, and one shows folders. How do you change them? I cannot find any option to "display as folder" or "display as icons". Is there even a way? Both computers are new, but one is from Jan, and the other is from last month. Could HP have simply changed it at the factory? I also have an HP laptop, and it shows icons. I even searched for "Windows 10 Quick Access", and looked at images of it, and I've seen it both ways, so I'm thinking it's a setting somewhere.

    E51: The same software version, but different language – how?

    Fully agree with you about the dealer but such sale is not forbidden. Furthermore such actions from Nokia limiting or penalising other EU markets are not permitted under EU consumer law. Sorry getting crazy as now having an useless phone and comments of
    my wife not to change anything in settings...**bleep**..!

    The dealer you bought the phone from is the actual culprit because he was the one who knowingly sold you a phone meant for another region/country. You could try taking it up with him and he may be able to change the language pack for you again.

    I looked there, but I don't know which one is to change them. I tried each box by itself, but nothing changes. Do I have to restart or something?

    Nothing I tried works. The odd thing is while searching on the web I've seen some screen clips with mixed icons/folders. Like there is not one option that changes them all at one time. Here's an example. The Desktop is the icon, but the others are folders. Strange I tell you!

    Found the reason! On the computer with the folders Windows changes them to folders from icons when the DPI is set higher than 100%. The user of the this computer needs it at 125%. I don't know what made me think of that, but I changed it back to 100%, and icons appeared. Changed it back, and back they went. For good measure I tested it on my other computers. Same thing happens. I can sleep well tonight. haha
