Windows 10: Windows Explorer View Option have changed

I have 2 computers running Windows 10, my main computer is Version 1709 Build 16299.64, the one in my shop is Version 1703 Build 15063.726, the view option on both computers is:



On the shop computer when I point at a file it highlights the file and lets me mouse over to one of the commands, Delete, Rename, etc. On the main computer when I point at a file in underlines it and when I mouse up to the commands the underline goes away.

Did the new version of Windows 10 change the way it handles this?

new instances of file explorer have a copy of the current explorer settings not those from the quick launch icon

Hello Stephen,

The challenges that you are having with File explorer has somehow related to File Explorer settings. To easily fix this, we suggest that you reset File Explorer by:

• Open File Explorer > Click on View
• Select Options > Click Change folder and view options
• Go to View and select Restore Defaults option.

Let us know how it goes.

In Windows Explorer, select View - Options - Change folder and search options and clear the checkboxes in the Privacy section.

 

I don't know the answer to this as I always use double click but there is a tutorial on this and you should ask your question in the thread there:
