Windows 10: Windows 10 AU 1607: Icon Text Left Justified

Yesterday I installed Windows 10 Anniversary Update 1607 14393.10

Now my Explorer Icon Text is all Left Justified, I HATE IT!

[EDIT] Just realised that it isn't consistent. In some windows it isn't all left justified. The first line is centred, the remaining lines are left justified to that. Terrible!

:)

 

Windows 10 AU 1607: Icon Text Left Justified

Today I installed Windows 10 Anniversary Update 1607

Now my Explorer Icon Text is all Left Justified, I HATE IT THE MOST!

Just realized that it isn't consistent. On Desktop it isn't all left justified. In Windows Explorer The first line
is centered (in some cases), the remaining lines are left justified to that. Terrible!

How to resolve the issue?? Kindly Help!! I want center aligned only.

Windows 10 AU 1607: Icon Text Left Justified

A quick search showed me multiple threads about this issue already, including one dating back to Insider Previews of the Anniv. Update. It's also been reported on TechNet and as far as I can tell there is no fix yet.

Hopefully the mods will merge this thread with the existing ones to reduce clutter.

 

Does the lack of replies mean I'm the only one who has this, or the only one who hates it?

 

Hey, same problem here, just after the 1607 update the file names are left aligned for me too, except on the desktop. Here is a topic from microsoft forums on that:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_files/file-names-are-aligned-to-left-instead-of-center/71a386a7-085f-49a6-b3c5-1e2e75e63e33?page=1

Hope there will be a fix for that soon, very irritating to look at.

 

Same PROBLEM here (icon text is now left aligned)! Methinks the issue is: Once again, a change done by ignorance of conventions, reading protocol and how the mind/eye works.

Doing real productive work is getting more difficult, as working environment changes to Mickey Mouse ideals.

This is becoming change for the sake of change, with no regard to workflow continuity. This change for no reason is not just in MS's Window, but found in many new everyday items..... eg: when Coke changed.

I hate this new Icon text Win 10 Explorer, as all my icons have long texts, and version numbers included, and wrap with inconsistencies. *Mad

 

Hi, a few have mentioned this- I saw another post. Certainly doesn't occur on mine after the upgrade.

Just to confirm, that's any of View, Large, Extra large, Medium-sized icons in explorer.

 

Maybe the issue is also related to the location in the location ini. Obviously, locations that read from right to left will have another setting (eg: Hebrew, Japanese, Arabic, et al.). Gone is the world of centrists. Now we only have leftists, and rightists <vbg>.

 

looks awful indeed

 

You could report it as here - suggest you include any language or other relevant configuration:

yes, reported already, I'll add more info
btw
I do known about this issue/feature, since it was introduced a few weeks ago in one of the Insiders build, but... what can I do.. my Feedback hub is localized so I don't even have an option to search and upvote global findings from others...

 

Just found this thread, and no you're not the only one.

 

Looks like I've joined the club...mine is the same.

 

I never noticed because my explorer is always in details view, but yeah, same here. Looks like it's everyone most likely.

All you can do is report it, and hope they fix it.

 

Not everyone..
