    Unfortunately, File Explorer always opens the Address Bar suddenly...

    I have 3 random machines doing exactly this and it is causing productivity issues now.

    Click a file in explorer window, the address bar will drop down for NO reason at all.

    You end up clicking in the address bar on one of the historical entries.

    You have lost where you were.

    VERY ANNOYING!
