    Explorer chevrons


    For Explorer is there a way to ensure that the last chevron in the breadcrumb bar is hidden when there are no sub folders in the current directory?

    May be a glitch/error on your PC's File Explorer?
    The 'Last Chevron' doesn't appear on my PC's File Explorer when there are no sub folders.

    Example: -

    Just realised that it's specific to my OneDrive folder, anyone else got the same?

    I'm not seeing the issue on the navigation window for any OneDrive folders.

    It's possible that there's a hidden folder there that's causing the chevron if you don't have [x] Hidden Items checked in the File Explorer > View banner.

    No because it happens even for folders that I create for testing plus I have 'Show hidden files etc.' checked
    If I create an empty folder say off the root, hover in the navigation bar so the chevrons appear (even for the new empty test folder) then click the chevron as if to expand the folder the chevron disappears and stays so for the that Explorer session.
    If I start a new Explorer session then the chevron returns even for the empty test folder
    I can't even say when this started as it's been a niggle for a while plus I recently reinstalled Win on a new PC and the issue is still present.
    Can't find any likely setting in OneDrive settings
    I'm currently on Win 10 Pro, DEV b21371.1 (Update to b21376.1 fails with error 0xc1900101)

    If it's any consolation, I've had just the opposite happen where in some rare mounted drive cases, folders WITH sub-folders didn't show the chevrons in the navigation window until I'd click on that folder.

    Then inexplicably, a few weeks after it started, it just stopped happening.

    Who knows how Microsoft makes this sausage?
