Windows 10: Windows 10 v. 1903 Explorer Options

Updating from v. 1809 there is a marked difference in File Explorer making it virtually useless. (I now must use EF Commander full time instead.)


I open File Explorer and it opens to "Quick Access" where it shows only the pinned "Frequent folders". The recent / frequent files that used to appear under a separator bar below the frequent folders list are missing. In fact the separator bar is missing too.


Is this a bug?


If not, how do I get "Quick Access" to show most recently / frequently accessed files in simple backward aging order (most recent to least recent).?


If I select he "Downloads" folder in the left-hand pane, the right-hand pane does not show the contents of the Downloads directory in the usual way - list of sub-folders followed by the list of files. Instead it displays more like an internet browser history list indicating which folders and /or files were accessed when going back to "Earlier this year" and "A long time ago".


There seem to be no options where I can get File Explorer to display the Downloads directory like every other directory - I want a folders - file list, not a history list.


Is this a bug?


If not, how can I get File Explorer to show "Downloads" contents like every / any other folder?

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
