  1. Windows 11 File Explorer Does not Sort Automatically


    When I change filenames in a Windows 11 Explorer window, it does not automatically sort. I have set my view options for the folder exactly how I want it, gone into Folder Options-View-Apply to Folders-OK. I have attached two examples, both showing files I have renamed with "old", and one showing that I do have the correct parameters.This does not even work on the current folder, let alone all folders. I also tried the suggestion of using WinSetView, but this has not worked, either. I am on a work computer and unable to make changes to the registry.Thank you for your help!Please do a patch for

    :)

    Sorting with File Explorer.

    I tried the method that was complicated (3rd option) but fell over in second step as I could not find any "apply to folder button"'.

    However, the simple put *.* in search bar, then sort results windows by date does the trick. It is slightly cumbersome as I have to do that each time I am selecting files (to upload to sharepoint) but a lot less hassle than I was having to scroll up and down between sorted file block and sorted folder block.

    Many thanks.

    Windows 11 File Explorer Sort Problem

    Thank you Raniel for your assistance, I received a call back from Microsoft who instructed me to do a complete reinstall of windows 11. That seems to have solved the issue of the sort being constantly forgotten. The issue now is extreme slowness every time I access file explorer, specially when sorting by date. Would your suggested fix address that issue ?

    thank you,

    Tim
