    Windows 10 not saving my folder view options


    Hello forum! First of all I apologize for my bad English. It is a somewhat annoying subject, the problem is the following. The personal User folder, from time to time does not save the configuration of the folder view. I always have it saved so that it shows folders in details but it is restored in icons.
    Any request? I have Windows 10 x64 version 2004.

    Thanks in advance, greetings.

    :)

    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

    Folder options work off of templates for folder type (General, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos).

    The easiest way to set the templates is to go to each of your User folders of that type (Downloads=general, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos) and set the folder columns and view the way you want all folders of that type to appear. Set all things the way you want (column sorted, column position, columns presented, and view - details, list, image size ...)

    When you're happy with the folder presentation, press the file menu on Explorer,

    Thanks for clarifying, it does not sound as though ESET is causing the issue on your machine then.
    There's a neat Windows utility that will capture the steps, the only thing is that it creates HTML and the forum down't let members post HTML, so you will have to put the output in a compressed folder (.zip) and attach that folder.

    Start > All apps > Accessories > Steps Recorder

    Launch the recorder, do your search(es), stop the recorder, save the output, than put it in a zip folder and attach the zip.

    re: Regedit - it is still version 5, no change in Win10.

    The process you posted tells Windows to not try to determine the folder type by what the folder contains (if you put a picture in a document type folder, Windows might try to change that folder to a picture type folder. I don't know if that still applies to Widows 10 though or if the registry mods will work in Win10.

    I don't think that has any bearing on the Search issue on your machine.



    Screen shots of the process you're using would help.
