Windows 10: unlock tree view like in file explorer for Win 10 like previous versions

Why can't the smart MS programmers correct the Windows Explorer incapability of showing tree view? It is obviously built in but hidden because it shows up when you are saving a file. This is really aggravating when you have been used to it on older versions. Real screw-up.

Tree like file explorer

Hi.

Is it possible to use the Navigation pane's tree-like-view-feature (expandable folders) directly in the file browsing area (the little arrows at the left of every folder)? I'd like to have a clean file exploring window without any additional columns (like
the 'Navigation pane'). If not, is there an app out there that does this sort of thing?

Thank you.

Window Explorer for Windows 10 view entire file tree

The answer given to this question did NOT help in any way whatsoever.

The original poster wanted to know how to view the ENTIRE file tree in ONE view (pane), not with a separate navigation pane on the left and the individual files in a separate pane on the right.

I've checked absolutely every possible option under the View menus in Windows 10 and do not see any way at all that I can view a simple file tree of SINGLE FILES being visible DIRECTLY UNDER the folder in which they reside.

I want to see this:

FOLDER

-file

-file

instead, all I'm seeing is this:

FOLDER (in the right pane)

or:

-file

-file

I need to see BOTH the FOLDER and each file that's in it listed DIRECTLY UNDER THE FOLDER IN ONE PANE. The split view between two panes is terrible.

Why was Windows 10 File Explorer designed like this? It's an organizational nightmare, and impossible to visualize which individual files are under each folder.

PLEASE ADVISE ASAP BEFORE I SWITCH BACK TO MAC.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
