    File open or insert window shows collapsed folders only

    I right clicked and then left clicked on 'expand' in File Explorer and then restarted and brought up an open file window but there was no change. The list is still collapsed.

    Windows 10 File Explorer navigation pane automatically expands/collapses folder tree

    I have recently come to Windows 10 from Windows 7 (and Classic Shell). I am not an IT professional, nor enthusiast, but I know my way around a PC.

    When I click on a folder in the file explorer navigation pane tree, it automatically expands the folder in the tree. It also automatically collapses the previous folder I had selected. This drives me nuts, as I am used to deciding for myself when to expand
    and collapse the tree.

    How do I make it:

    - just show the folder contents in the right pane when I select a folder in the tree

    - only expand the folder when I tell it to

    - leave expanded folders expanded when I select a different folder in the tree

    (in other words, behave like Windows Explorer)?

    PS - I will start throwing things at anyone who mentions the "Expand to current folder" setting, as this is not the answer.
