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

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

Windows Explorer Issue-Duplicate D:\ after relocating files

Thank you both for the assistance! For Keith: I created 2 new folders on the D:\ drive as you instructed: Documents and Videos, then I moved the associated files/folders as you instructed into the new folders. I've attached a screenshot of what the directory in Explorer now looks like (note the duplicate D:\ drives under 'This PC'.

For the next step, I want to be sure that I make the correct changes in the registry (and I certainly don't want to make anything worse!). When I open the registry as you instructed, I see under Personal the current Value is D:\. Under My Video it is C:\Users\'my user initials'\Video. Are you suggesting that I rename Personal to D:\Documents, then change the value to the new 'string' that you suggested and rename My Video to D:\Videos, also inserting the new 'string' that you suggested? Again, many, many thanks for your assistance!
