    Why did KB5033372 change the look of my Windows File Explorer????? How to Fix??


    I updated to the latest cumulative update KB5033372 yesterday before shutting down for the night. When I returned to my PC today, I noticed a change in my File Explorer address bar. This is what I see:It became super thin and clunky looking, not as clean and padded like I remembered it from literally less than 24 hours ago. What I want back:Why did this happen and how can I get the original look back?Thanks.

    :)

    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
