    How do I see the entire contents of my downloads folder


    I did the recent update of windows 10 and now I can't see the entire contents of my download folder. I have a lot of stuff that I really want to be able to access. Any help would be awesome

    Thank you! (I cannot give you a reputation point for some reason.)

    This solved my issue. (WHY, oh, why, did an update change my viewing preferences??? C'mon MS.)

    @Ztruker: thanks for providing the impetus for my Win10.Guru blog post yesterday. Here's a link, if you're curious: Undo File Explorer Default Download Grouping (1903 and later versions) – Win10.Guru.
    Thanks again,

    Don't let it go to your head. And remember: "almost famous" beats "almost dead," every time!
