Windows 11 - how do I set default view for details (other thread solutions don't work or Windows 11)

Every time I select the details view in a folder, I have to re-select what details I want (file type, length, etc) to the same thing. I have read many threads, but they seem to not be for Windows 11. There is no "Organize" option that I can see.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage

    I have done this procedure MANY times and it doesn't work. Windows always reverts to their "default" view, even for the same folder.

    THIS is the only thing that has worked for me. The official method has been broken for YEARS!!!
