Windows 10: Snap back to top in File Explorer

Whenever I am searching files, in a folder that has more than one page view in Windows Explorer, it snaps back to the top after a few seconds. How do I stop this?

:)

 

In File Explorer a long list of file names snaps back to the top of the list after a few seconds

I have many folders containing many screen fulls of files. When I scroll down to find some file many screens down, after a few seconds the file explorer software snaps the view back to the top so I am unable to work with the selected file. This problem
is particularly annoying when processing photos saved on my phone where literally a list of thousands of shots reside and I wish to work on a few therein. The view just snaps back to the top before I can do anything. A search of settings for File Explorer
provides no option I can find to make a file list display stable.

 

Snap Assist to top and bottom in portrait mode

I work in Portrait on my desktop and have found an almost-but-not-quite solution building on Eeshwar's suggestion.

1) Snap a window to one of the corners. For this purpose we'll say you have your notes app and Snap it to bottom-left or bottom-right.

2) Size the snapped window horizontally to fill the screen

3) Snap "top" window to either top corner - the window will match the size of your previously-snapped bottom window and fill the rest of the screen.

This solution has drawbacks:

1) Extra step - you must resize the initial window after snapping

2) No official keyboard shortcuts
