Windows 10: Windows 10 Modified File Explorer

Last night I shut down my laptop, and a few minutes ago I turned it back on to find that it installed some update (that I was not at all informed of, and updates are paused, so ???). Not sure what it is or what it did, but for some reason my file explorer address bar is now unnecessarily bulky and painful to look at:

as opposed to the old, thinner one.

Probably hard to see from the snips, but it is very noticeable when using it, especially since I use the address bar frequently and daily. I tried restarting my PC, etc., etc. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I would like to know if I can change this back. Thank you for the assistance.

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

Windows Explorer is slow to update "date modified" and hampers searching for most recently updated files

Windows Explorer doesn't seem to be keeping up with "date modified". E.g. I modify a file in Word then save it to my local drive. Then I open Windows Explorer and sort by Date Modified. The file I just saved should be displayed at the top of the file
list, but it doesn't. I have to also add that it "sometimes" works, but most of the time, it doesn't. It seems like it takes several minutes for the file system to update to sort by Date Modified. Any suggestions?
