View icons

Windows 10, Kaspersky, Excel and Word 2016, Fastone Image Viewer used often.
I very seldom want to view files or photos in List form or anything other than Medium or Large Icons.
As soon as I turn my back this Windows 10 seems to want to return me to List; not always, but far more often than my old W7. I need go out of a file only once (Leaving it in Medium icons) and often but not always, when I return sure enough I have to spend time selecting Medium Icons again.
As I said, far more often than in W7.
Have I any control over this?
Thanks for the help.
