    Windows 10 - changing from single-click back to double-click

    Hi Sandi,

    Follow these steps to change single-click to double-click when opening an item:

    • On the Cortana search, type in Control Panel and click it from the search results.
    • Click File Explorer Options.
    • Under the General tab, look for Click items as follows.
    • Tick or select Double-click to open an item (single-click to select).
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Once done, check if you now need to double-click to open an item.

    Please update this thread with the result.

    Regards.
