Windows 10: Windows 11 Explorer randomly jumping back to top/beginning of subfolders/files list when...

Hi :When Windows offered me to upgrade W10 to W11, I accepted. Ever since, I have the issue described in the title.To be more specific, let's say I have a folder with many subfolders or files thus they can't all appear on a single "page" and one has to scroll up/down or, in my case, since I like the "list" view best, left to right. For example, I go to a file/subfolder with a name starting with letter "S". After a duration that can go from a few seconds to a few minutes it seems completely random, but always happen eventually, whether I'm doing something with the subfolders/files or I jus

Windows 11 File Explorer Folder Jumps to the Top Randomly, and When Creating Shortcuts

Hello,

I am using Windows 11.

I generally have multiple file explorer windows open.

I "randomly" experience the folders jump to the top. I have unsuccessfully tried various resolutions listed in the following links.

I recently identified that creating a shortcut from the folder "causes" a jump, and guessed that this may mean something to people who understand better than I do.

I have an unresolved issue with the computer freezing, that may/not be related to the jumping.

Can you please assist with the folder jumping issues?

Thanks and regards.

list of files jumps to the top

It is the issue with File Explorer. When I open a long list of files trying to go through it, it suddenly jumps up, to the beginning

 

Windows 10 File Explorer will jump to the top of the list regardless of if it's focused or not

Like the title says, file explorer will just randomly jump to the top of the file list after a really small amount of time.

I don't know if I missed a setting somewhere or something or it's just a bug. It happens in the file explorer on my SSD and all my HDDs. Anybody else noticed this or can test it and see if it also happens to them?

This didn't happen in 8.1 or 7.

I've tried timing it and it seems random though it takes a bit longer if there are more items in the folder, it's scrolled closer to the bottom, and is the main window, sometimes. By longer, I mean it'll wait a minute and a half before jumping up. Sometimes,
it'll wait less than 10 seconds.

Most I've seen it wait was a minute and 48 seconds

It'll even jump to the top if I'm in the middle of renaming a file. It just ignores what I'm doing and goes up.

And it's not a scroll up and doesn't happen in other programs, so not my mouse. One second, it's where I left it at and the next, it's at the top of the file list. Help
