    Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

    • Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
    • In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
      to change the view.
    • Once changed, close the File Explorer.
    • Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

    Uncertain Explorer results

    Cortana switched to Internet Explorer

    Hi,



    When you say “tried uninstalling Internet Explorer”, how exactly you tried uninstalling it?

    For your information, I like to share that Internet Explorer is an inbuilt browser in Windows operating system and you cannot uninstall it.



    To check the Windows build, I suggest you to follow the step below.



    • Press Windows key + R key, type winver and press
      Enter key.


    Also, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.




    • Type Default in the Search bar and select
      Default Programs from the list of search result.

    • Find and click on Reset option at the bottom of the page.

    • Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us with the updated status of the issue for further assistance on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you
