    Why can't I disable Item Check Boxes or enable Compact View in File Explorer?


    I just bought an HP Omen 14 Transcend and I can't disable Item Check Boxes or enable Compact View in File Explorer. I don't have a touchscreen and there's no tablet mode so I can't figure out why these settings aren't working.

    :)

    Your picture shows the issue.

    Before, when Item check boxes was checked, there was a box next to each folder or file, that you could check, just like the one before Name. Now as you can see in your picture the check boxes are gone.

    Why can't I disable Item Check Boxes or enable Compact View in File Explorer?

    Can't enable "compact view" (Windows 11)

    (Windows 11 on laptop. ) Suddenly, I can't enable "Compact View" in File Explorer. I've done everything possible, incl. making sure "View" settings are set to"Compact View" and making sure the box is checked in "Folder Options," but nothing changes. Do I need to make a registry change? If so, please provide instructions.
