    Wierd File Explorer Behavior


    Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. Whenever I right click on a shortcut and select 'Open File Location' of course File Explorer opens up as it should to the location that the shortcut points to. The weird thing is that when I close File Explorer, it immediately reopens and I have to close it again for it to stay closed. This does not happen if I merely open File Explorer directly. To eliminate the possibility that it is a problem with my mouse I repeated these steps using only the keyboard to navigate through these steps...still happens. It would be interesting to see if this is a problem only with my system or is it a Windows 10 10240 glitch.

  4. File Explorer search behavior

    in Windows 10 Network and Sharing
    File Explorer search behavior: File Explorer changed in Feb 2024. Before, it would search the file path and file name for a string. After the change, it searches only the file name. This renders indexing by directory worthless. How can I get it to behave in the old way?...
