Enable or Disable Auto Arrange in Folders in Windows 10  

I wish if I had looked in to this before.
Updated my Windows to 1709, and I used the registry files right after the update boot, and it worked fine for my document, and most folders.
Except few ones that kept sorting by name, I disabled and enabled the trick. Now they all keep sorting back to name

Maybe there is still hope?

I'd really wish if Microsoft would stop treating their users as imbeciles

Is there a solution like this one?

windows 10 - Win 10 Update disables align to grid option - Super User


This one seems to be successful in disabling auto-grid.


Thanks in advance.

Any news regarding this matter?
I don't know how much longer I can hold on 1607. (dodged forced upgrades several times now)
please shawn, find a solution for us.
thnx

Disable Windows update service, don't update to latest build, it's security nightmare, that will strip half your software of their features.
The 1607 is more friendly.
MS became very obsessed with security, they ruined user experience.

It appears to be a dead deprecated feature now.

Why they have to nix every feature that people like is beyond me.
can't you put a complaint on our behalf ? maybe they listen to their MVP. no?

Thnx. i've took every thinkable measure to avoid an auto upgrade.
btw, do we have a topic here about 1803 user experience?

Thnx shawn, what about my other question? can you put a word for us? maybe they listen.
otherwise , how long do we have before 1607 becomes end of line/expired?
