    Windows 10 not saving my folder view options


    Hello forum! First of all I apologize for my bad English. It is a somewhat annoying subject, the problem is the following. The personal User folder, from time to time does not save the configuration of the folder view. I always have it saved so that it shows folders in details but it is restored in icons.
    Any request? I have Windows 10 x64 version 2004.

    Thanks in advance, greetings.

    Which folder exactly is this? Quick access?

    Can you post the picture of it?

    Meanwhile, here is tutorial to change templates for typical folders:

    To avoid misunderstandings, if you are looking at the folder using the user folder icon within This PC then also have a look at it in File explorer by browsing to the folder C:\Users\%UserName%

    Are both views wrong or just the first?

    I apologize, that folder. It is the user's personal folder. Check in properties and it was like general elements. For now, keep saving the view settings in details.
    It's just a curiosity that I had.
    Anyway yesterday I updated Windows 10. I will see if the problem continues.

    Could be that you'll have to make changes after every major update. This is User's folder, and MS thinks that everybody should look at it as tiles ...

    You can save the current view settings for whole account and restore it, but changing only one folder from tiles to details is pretty fast.

    Today I look at it and change the folder view again, it's really funny. Sorry, did you have any advice? It is not something annoying, but it is curious because only that folder happens that.

    Apparently there are different amounts of files. Folders such as desktop, etc. appear from the user box. If I open from disk, less amount appears.
    Maybe next time I will try to buy if the different icons are presented in both.

    OK. The next time you get either appearing in icons, take a screenshot of both so you have something to refer to.

    I have a couple of obervations but they are not about your problem -
    - You have enabled the viewing of hidden files. That's fine if you have a reason to do so. Otherwise, it just complicates your views.
    - You could have dragged down the bottom of each window so that your screenshot showed every entry [instead of just 19 of them]. This can hinder investigations if, as is common, the screenshots are your only record of what was shown.
