    Windows 11 File Explorer is a disaster


    Where have the ribbon shortcut keys gone in File Explorer for Windows 11? I get that you, Microsoft, want to simplify the UI but why on earth would you get rid of all the shortcut keys? This is what make people more productive and the folks that want to point and click simply don't have to deal with the shortcuts.It's quite unbelievable that Microsoft would reduce the functionality of File Explorer to this extent.

    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

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable add-ons and check if it helps.

    Disclaimer: Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will also disable any add-ons, plug-ins, or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is quick, it also means that, if you want to use any of those add-ons
