Windows 10: When I use alt-d in Windows explorer, I get extra unwanted "suggestions" that often won't...

I frequently use alt-d in Windows Explorer to type in a filepath, and then I hit enter to go there. It's always worked great in Windows 10. Now with Windows 11, when I do that, additional "suggestions" appear underneath the filepath. I don't particularly like those, and I never use them, but they're not TERRIBLE. But what IS terrible, is that once I hit enter to GO to the location I typed in, those "suggestions" don't go away. Ideally, I'd just love to be able to STOP Windows from even showing that "suggestion".I tried uploading an image showing an example of this, but for some reason it

Hi Tobin, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

If you have Windows 11 22h2 or below, the steps from this article might still work to disable Auto-suggest.

If you're already in 23h2, your option is to try and clear the history and see if that helps

Win11: ALT+D works everywhere but in File Explorer

Hello Mitchell, I've tried what you have suggested, ie booting with that mode, and it did not change anything





i.e. ,while Win+E brings the explorer, then ALT+D does not highlight the address bar.

ALT+D seems to work in all web browsers, but not in Windows Explorer.

Best Regards
