    Can not change folder view since 1903 install


    Since upgrading to 1903 I can't get any folder view to be anything other than "General Items". I had been using "Backup and Restore Folder View Setting Tool" and that would only work for 3 or 4 days - now not at all.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    You might want to create another userprofile & see if you have the same issue there.

    Some other things to check:
    Copy & paste into PowerShell to get total # of saved views:
    Code:
    ((gp "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU").Nodeslots).count
    This will list the various folder view templates in your saved views:
    Code:
    gci 'HKCU:\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\*\*\{*}' |
       select -expand pschildname -unique  |
          %{(gp "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\$_").CanonicalName}

    Keith - Thanks for the reply. A new user profile did not help.
    I have never used PowerShell before so I tried copy & paste to each listed item listed. Each code did nothing. After paste and hitting Enter, nothing came up. Is there a special way to do this?

    Thanks for the help.

    Odd. The first command should return a number:
    Can not change folder view since 1903 install-screenshot-375-.png
    The second a list of FolderTypes:
    Can not change folder view since 1903 install-screenshot-376-.png
