    Still finding it difficult to adjust to Windows 11’s appearance – so I am continuing to hunt for ways to make it look and feel like Windows 10.

    Just found the June 5, 2024 article This Windows 11 trick brings back Windows 10’s file explorer in PCWorld.

    https://www.pcworld.com/article/2356557/windows-11-simple-trick-brings-back-the-old-file-explorer.html

    It seems to work. I made the adjustment to my Windows 11 PC and now have the Windows 10’s file explorer look and feel.

    We will see how long the reconfiguration lasts.

      Just open the Control Panel and type \ or any other path in the address-bar or click the up-arrow to the left of it to show the classic version. Hold down the Shift key while right-clicking in File Explorer to see the classic context menu. There is a direct link to Windows Tools in the Start menu’s All second pane as well.

      See also Restore Classic File Explorer with Ribbon in Windows 11 for additional options using the registry.
