Confirmed - QTTabBar centers text.

Any other solution except QTTabBar?

So far, wait for MS to fix it, unless you find a solution on the net.

If you don't want explorer to show anything from Qttabbar- no colours, tabs.. you can disable it, yet still have the text fixed.

I already have 100+ stuff disabled and forefully blocked and uninstalled from windows 10 to make it bearable for me.
If I add this Qttabbar app to it, it's going to start looking like a construction made out of sticks and stones tied together even more than it does now.
Why couldn't they have decided to stop making new windows versions back when they reached windows 7? That was perfect already jeez...

You shouldn't have to work that hard to make Win 10 'usable'. You really run the risk of breaking it. Something wrong there.

Example: if you want to use Win 10 as a desktop machine;
a. Use Classic Shell start menu
b. Set colours for title bars
c. Ignore universal apps and tiles - they don't take up much space or CPU time
d. Enable system restore
e. As necessary, set up the language (display, speech, region etc)
f. Install your preferred AV

Don't worry about telemetry and 'phoning home'. Turning things off can lead to error messages in Settings.

You wanted a workaround for a bug- you're lucky I happened fortuitously to notice I had one. So please, be happy- complain to Microsoft if you wish, not the volunteers here.

Argh why did I read this thread. I didn't even notice before but now I can't unsee it.

Exactly the same problem. Some random folders have Left Aligned Text in the icons, while other folders are normal. I tried looking if they had added a setting for formatting or something, but to no avail. These random bugs are so annoying.

After a lengthy auto-update this morning it is happening in file folders and I've tried to work around it but it's driving me crazy... Sorry for the comment with no real content or help, but I just joined in to get notified if there was a fix with the forum.

Hello, have you read the preceding posts? Please see my posts about using Quizo's version of (free) Qttabbar v1038. You can install this but not even enable it to give tabs or whatever colour you want in explorer panes etc and still have the text justification corrected.

Another user has confirmed this works for him.

1 downside, icons in Recent files in explorer are now blank with the anniversary upgrade applied.
