File Explorer does not apply folder options since updating Win10 1903

Hello guys,

I've been experiencing the following issue. If i do right click on folder/properties/customize/optimize this folder for: and select any option, it does not apply the selection to the folder. It always stays on (General Elements). It is broken since i updated to 1903.

This is really annoying because i have more tha 1000 folders of pictures and now all of them are in this form (general elements). I tried to select them all and apply the new folder view option and nothing happen.

The way i kinda workaround it is to opening the ribbon option "view" select thumbnails and that is. But for instance, if the folder is for audio, i can't have all the sorting option tha came with the specific folder customization.

I´m on Windows 10 Enterprise 1903 (18362.239)

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Yeah same here, also on 18362.239. Unfortunately, all we can do is report it to Microsoft as a bug and hope they fix it soon.

Strangely it's only affecting certain folders, i.e. you can create a new folder on the desktop and set its kind of folder without any problem.

See 1903 update - all folders set back to default and can't customize them - TenForums and apply the fix in the tutorial linked to in there. It fixed it for both of us.

Thanks Denis,

I tried the .BAT file and it worked but just for one folder (but i have thousands of it). If i select all the folders to change the option, it does not apply the customization. This happened to you too?

That seems to have fixed it, thanks Denis.

Thank you Dennis, I did that and it worked.
