Windows 10: Tiles View in Windows Explorer screwed up after Fall Creators Update

In the 1709 build....is this on the insider ring? As of right now....I'm still on 1703 and don't see anywhere to upgrade to 1709.

 

It's the finished version of the Fall Creators Update, it's already possible to create an Iso of it and use it to Upgrade. It's not an Insider-Version

 

The MCT got leaked, apparently - now we can all make the ISO/.USB install media. More here:
Cumulative Update KB4043961 Build 16299.19 for PC

 

I know absolutely nothing about this, other than some ancient html table alignments that I worked on.
But perhaps your "before" layout looks like the columns were sized, then the icons were left aligned.
Your "after" layout looks like the same column alignment but with the icons arranged to be centred but with a consistent left margin.

Whatever, it certainly looks wrong to me. If I get time, I'll look at your alignments on my 24" PC display... this 9.7" tablet is not suited to alignment issues.

 

Just updated and have the same problem.
I also logged in my brother's account to backup some files and it shows normally.
I screenshot both my explorer and my brother's, same pc, just different account.

AFAIK it is a feature of the new Fluent Design. Wider rectangular tiles are being used consistently across the design. Check the notifications area, this is also made with wider rectangular tiles.

 

Yeah, i have the same. But i suppose this is a feature, not a bug )

 

I noticed the same today after upgrade and I found out what it is. Written here in german.

If you install then new OneDrive client it shows picture in front of the File icon.

Hope this helps.

 

Yeah, now this start making sense. But as always MS doesn't think about people who don't wanna use OneDrive.

 

Same with me... I'm using version 10.0.16299.19. Looks like a bug

 

Was looking if other people have the same issue. Glad I'm not the only one. Despite that this "feature" doesn't prevent things from working, it does bug me. It just looks and feels wrong. My guess would be that some registry key need modification. The question remains which those would be.

 

Welcome to TenForums @Jhonny8bit,

My guess is it's not in the registry, but hard coded into explorer.exe to leave space for an extra OneDrive icon as Hanabishi in post #22 suggested. As you say, doesn't stop anything working, just looks odd.

 

Right click on them and select Group by none maybe.

 

if someone else needs to hide useless folders just change names hereHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\
for example put minus before name -{3dfdf296-dbec-4fb4-81d1-6a3438bcf4de} and F5 in explorer after changing

and maybe someone already find solution for topic problem?

 

This does not fix the issue.
