Windows 10: Windows 10 File Explorer search : how to persist view settings

Hi,


How should I persist my view settings in the "search tools" tab in file explorer ? I hit CTRL-F and then search for something. I then change the View de Details, add the "Path" column, reorder, sort, whatever.


I want to be able to have this view whenever I search for something. Right now, the default behavior seems to reset everytime which doesn't seem to make sense for me.


Note that I experienced this behavior since Windows 7 and on dozens of machines. Doesn't seems like a bug on my machine.


Thankss

:)

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

Store the view setting for File Explorer search results

In Windows 10 I am able to set the default File Explorer view to "Details", and it persists as that view.

For File Explorer search results, however, I have found no way to make the view persist.

Is it possible to persist File Explorer search results have "Details" view in Windows 10?
