  1. File explorer opens in the middle in small widnow...always.


    Hello, I have very weird issue that I cannot resolve.Everytime I open file explorer any folder/This PC/Any disks it opens in a small window exactly in the middle of the screen. Changing size and moving it doesnt save that. Everytime I open new window it will still open as small window in the middle of the screen. I tried resetting all folders settings to default.Folders view settings to default.Tried creating new account to check if it is maybe user specific, but same behaviour was on other account.Same behaviour happens in safe mode. I've tried changing some registry settings I found on int

    :)

  2. File explorer will not open on windows 10

    In this case, it's possible that the File Explorer is set to open an incorrect/corrupted file location. To rule out folder path related issues, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Type Control Panel in the search box. From the search result, click
      Control Panel.
    • Select Small icons from the View by: drop-down list located on the top right side of the window.
    • Select File Explorer Options.
    • Under the General tab, select This
      PC
      from the Open File Explorer to: drop-down list.
    • Click OK.

    Once you're done, open File Explorer again and check if the issue persists.

    Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.

    windows 10 file explorer left folder window keeps jumping to the middle

    Thank you for your reply.

    The main reason why the scroll bar is in the middle when you open File Explorer is incorrect folder settings. To resolve this, we suggest changing the File Explorer "Open to" settings. To do so, please follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • In the left pane, right-click Quick access, and then click
      Options
      .
    • Under General, set Open File Explorer to:
      Quick access
      .
    • Click Apply.
    • Click OK.

    We would appreciate an update about how it went.

    File explorer opens in the middle in small widnow...always.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
