Windows 10: Windows Search Results keeps switching view

Hi,

I really really hope someone can help me. My issue is that whenever I search for a file and it takes me to all my results, as soon as I double click a folder within the results it will take me to that particular folder and then after 1/2 second, it will automatically take me back to my search results. It's so annoying.

Even if I click on ‘downloads’ or ‘documents’ it still switches back to the search results window every time. I have to close the explorer window and start again.

I am running Windows 10 version 1909.

Many thanks

:)

 

Windows Search Results keeps switching view

Thanks for your reply. It's been happening ever since I updated to version 1909. If I made a search, for example, 'phonics', it will show the results for this in a list. Then if I open up a folder within the search results list, it will open it up and then search again automatically within that folder for 'phonics' again. Then if I click on documents or downloads or music in the navigation pane, it will keep searching for the word 'phonics' within that folder.
