Windows 10: Windows 10 File Explorer shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+'n'

Hi I posted a question about this 3 years ago and I wondered if anyone has found a solution? As a reminder, File Explorer should allow you to quickly switch views using Ctrl+Shift+'n', e.g. Ctrl+Shift+1 Change View to Extra Large Icons Ctrl+Shift+2 Change View to Large Icons Ctrl+Shift+3 Change View to Medium Icons Ctrl+Shift+4 Change View to Small Icons Ctrl+Shift+5 Change View to List View Ctrl+Shift+6 Change View to Details View Following a Windows 10 upgrade 3 years I changed my Word spellchecker to default to English UK from English US and the Change View s

Windows 10 File Explorer shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+'n' stopped working

Hi

The extremely useful shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+'n') within File Explorer has suddenly stopped working.

There was an automatic Windows update a few days ago and I believe the last time I used the shortcuts was before this update. These shortcuts worked as follows...

Ctrl+Shift+1 Change View to Extra Large Icons

Ctrl+Shift+2 Change View to Large Icons

Ctrl+Shift+3 Change View to Medium Icons

Ctrl+Shift+4 Change View to Small Icons

Ctrl+Shift+5 Change View to List View

Ctrl+Shift+6 Change View to Details View

Elsewhere I have seen a couple of other Windows 10 users reporting the same issue but I have not yet tracked down a fix.

As far as I can tell all of my other keyboard shortcuts are working.

I am on a 9 month old Dell Inspiron 17 5770 Laptop.

Is there a setting I can apply to get the shortcuts back please?

Thanks in advance

Rick

 

"Shift + Ctrl + Numbers" thumbnail view shortcut in file explorer of windows 10 1511 not working

Hi Mohak,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand that the Shift + Ctrl + Number shortcut fails to work on Windows 10 after update. I will certainly help you.

As initial troubleshooting, I suggest you to check other keyboard shortcuts like
Shift + Caps Lock, Ctrl + P, Ctrl + Shift + Esc are working like it should.

Similarly check whether Shift + Ctrl + 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8 keyboard shortcuts which customizes the File Explorer view are working.

Follow the below steps and check if it resolves the issue.

Step 1:

1. Right click on Start, navigate to
Control Panel > File Explorer Options.

2. Click on General and View
tab and click on Restore Defaults > Apply >
OK.

Please post back with the status of the issue and we will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.
