Windows 10: Windows 11 File Explorer bugs and unwanted features

When I access File Explorer, either directly or via an MS Office application like Word eg via 'Save As' it frequently but not always switches almost immediately to the desktop. I can get back to the folder I want by hitting the 'back' button, but this is deeply irritating. I've ended up saving files to my desktop rather than to the required folder if I haven't noticed the switch.Also, the Windows 11 File Explorer seems to have prevented access to, and sorting by, metadata tags like 'date taken' for pictures or 'album artist' for music files. Why, and can I get this feature back?If I want t

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
