RS-Prerelease Build 21337 is out to Dev Channel + KB5001618 to .1010

 Let me just add my 2 cents worth.  I'm 82 and I don't like it!  I don't like their making it the default and burring it deeply in the View Options.  But I've turned it off and hope they don't turn it back on in the next build.

Totally agree Hula. I'm 66 and despise this. Hope it remains off, not having to set with each build as well.

Has MS not learned a lesson from their failure with Win8 to design the OS for tablets. Totally wasteful on a large monitor.

Perhaps offer it as an option for tablets, or possibly in tablet mode, not on a PC Microsoft! Where are these lame ideas coming from?

Regards,

This new default view of File Explorer is awful disaster, just waste of space Compact mode should be default.

In that case go to top of thread and click reply in first posting.

It's in the Blog above.

Why did they change the default ? I guess I have to change it back the way it was, it is just a waste of space.

If I can find where the compact option is ?

Edit: 

Found it, the compact mode should be the default not the other way around.

Totally agree, the default should be compact mode, I entered a feedback, but I cannot find it...
