WinSetView (Tool to Globally Set Explorer Folder Views)

@Edwin, what folder are we looking at here? I'm poking around on my machine trying to find a place where I don't get "Content", but do get "Auto arrange" and "Align to grid" (implies Desktop) and somehow can get a Details view with thumbnails. Can't find a match. Apparently, prior to Windows 10 1703, there were keyboard shortcuts to change the Desktop to details view. That's the closest match I could find. Am I missing something obvious?

Maybe QTTabBar is installed? Looking at @Edwin's screenshot. I'm not sure.
Anyway just for reference WinSetView works fine for me. If I use a third party file browser I can additionally set custom views for up to 10,000 folders with settings remembered (by the application). It doesn't affect folder views in Explorer.

Well, I've never seen a view like that before. Maybe someone else will chime in with an explanation. To resolve it, I would try using the option to reset to Windows default views first and then try setting to Details globally. Let me know how that goes. If it doesn't work, I have another idea, but I'll wait to hear back first.

Brake4bots - Unfortunately I'm seeing an error when I double-click on the HTA file.
From what I can work out from line 62, it's working out the screen scaling... yet my laptop is using the default 100% and resolution is also set to its default. I've also checked the value of HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\AppliedDPI and it's set to 96.
Any idea about the cause of this error?

@Brake4bots
Any chance to enable global column widths as well?

Can you go into Regedit and take a screenshot of any key under:Brake4bots - Unfortunately I'm seeing an error when I double-click on the HTA file.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\PerMonitorSettings
If there are no keys under PerMonitorSettings, that would explain the error
Here's what mine looks like:

@RickC Don't worry about the registry screenshot. I just updated the HTA to deal with a PerMonitorSettings key that can't be enumerated (probably empty in your case). Please redownload. You shouldn't get an error with the updated code.
The screen scaling is an interesting challenge. A custom scale factor is very easy to find by reading HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\AppliedDPI, but the quick, standard 125 and 150 scaling options do not change that value. Instead, it's set as a "DPIValue" entry under your display monitor's entry (under PerMonitorSettings) as 0 for default (or custom), 1 for 125, and 2 for 150.
Those two checks provide enough information to scale horizontally, but the vertical scale is not linear. To get that right I have to get a value for the scroll height of the dialog elements (after setting the width correctly so nothing is wrapped) and then resize vertically based on that value.
I couldn't find any references online that covered this completely. Some trial and error was required. Fun stuff.

That's a feature I would like too. I'm looking into it for a future update.
