View>list folder option doesn't stick to all folders


In a folder, when I do View>list and then in Options apply that to all folders, it often doesn't stick, i.e some sub folders under that folder show the details view. Any suggestions?

In fact it looks like all new folders are defaulting to details view.

Windows Quick Assist "View Screen" option is grayed out

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the View Screen option is greyed out in Quick Assist. I’ll help you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• Were you able to use the View Screen feature earlier?
  
• Are you aware of any changes on the computer recently?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

I would suggest you to try using a different Microsoft account and check if you are able to get the View Screen option.



If using a different Microsoft account doesn’t work, we can try uninstalling and reinstalling Quick Assist and check if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Apps, and select
   Apps & features.
   
3. Click on Optional features.
   
4. Scroll down, look for Microsoft Quick Assist, click on it and select
   Uninstall.
   
5. Once uninstalled, click on Add a feature.
   
6. Scroll down, look for Microsoft Quick Assist, click on it and select
   Install.
   

If you still face issues, try creating a new user account and check if the View Screen option is available.
Refer the article Create
a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.
