    Shift for selecting multiple Files not working


    Sorry, I don't have this bug. I tested this and in my case the selection follow the expected pattern, i.e. shift-leftclick selects all files between this file and the file that I first selected. Are you sure you're using leftclick?

    shift click not working to select multiple files with Windows 10

    I have the newest version of Windows 10 and I can't get shift+click to work when selecting multiple files in a list within Explorer. Every other computer I've ever used I can click the first file that I want, hold down shift and then select the last, and
    it will select everything in between. I saw where someone online had the same problem, but no answer was given. Is there a setting I need to turn on to allow this? It is very frustrating!

    Shift for selecting multiple Files not working


    First of all I would like to say how well laid out this forum is. Just joined and hope to find some solution to my problem.


    Windows 10 has many little problems, her are some with "Shift"!


    If I want to let's say select 10 Files in Windows File Manager and click on the first one, press Shift and click on the last one. (I used this method since windows 3.1)


    10 files are now selected, if I do this in Windows 3.1 to 7. Windows 10 ignores Shift and the click selects the last file and no other file is highlighted any more, the highlight just jumps to file 10!


    I even tried to switch on "Use check boxes to select items", rebooted and nothing had changed. Can not even get check boxes!

    In your Forums Tutorials the is a section with File manger shortcuts which states:

    Shift with any arrow key:"Select more than one item in a window or on the desktop or select text within a document"

    No luck here either! Has any of you got an idea what is going wrong.
