File Explorer search Current folder option doesn't work

Good morning,

I am having a problem with my Windows 10 file explorer searches.  When I search for an item, it brings back results in for the current folder and all subfolders as it should.  When I click on "Current folder" in the search tools, however, it does nothing.  I still see all results from all subfolders.  

I believe this problem started after installing NVIDIA GeForce Experience and the latest NVIDIA driver.  I tried to do a system restore, but it seems I dont have any restore points.  That is another problem I will have to fix.  

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

    You went through hoops for this. For all the others with the same problem , Thank you. For a long time I had to sort by the folder path.

    Resolved

    This question has been resolved after 13 months.  I upgraded Windows to version 21H1 and the problem is fixed.  Apparently a moderator will have to mark it as resolved.

    After 13 months, the problem has finally been resolved.  I upgraded Windows 10 to version 21H1, and that fixed the issue.  I will close this string as resolved (if I can figure out how).
