    Larger Spacing in Explorer


    Windows Version:
    Version Dev (Operating system compilation: 21337.1000)

    Hi!
    I've got a little problem.
    No matter when I open Explorer.exe (File Explorer), I have larger spaces between files, folders, etc.
    (Screenshot at the bottom).

    Anyone have a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    Larger space than what? Mine looks quite similar to yours. A lot of things can affect what one sees, screen resolution, Font size, zooming, etc.

    The problem is that it only looks similar. I did not change the zoom, font size and the View is standard, i.e. Details.

    Do you run latest Insider?

    Then go to Folder View/ and select Compact mode:

    I just checked my Win10 Pro IP Dev setting and it didn't seem to make much difference on a 21.5" monitor at 1440x900 resolution with 125% view.
