This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I recently upgraded to windows 11 on my laptop, and I can't disable item check boxes in the file explorer.
Disabling item check boxes works on the desktop, but not in the file explorer (see attached screenshot).
I have tried disabling "Use check boxes to select items" in folder settings, and changing the value of HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\AutoCheckSelect to 0 in the registry, both of which do not solve the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thank you rida udens
I have all updates recent installed and the problem still
Ivery case it was the second time that this happens and in the previous installation the problem was solved by itself with the updates.
Thank you again for all your care
First of all thank you for your helpful advice!
It worked for me just by installing optional updates and rebooting so perhaps the other steps are not always required.
just had this issue pop-up for me suddenly 24 hours after installing Windows 11 22H2 update. This is a non-touchscreen laptop, with no detachable keyboard. At the beginning of today's session windows suddenly informed me that it was running in tablet mode, but the only evidence of this is the tablet pc controls in control panel, and the checkboxes in explorer. Obviously 22H2 is not quite ready for release. I hope that before they do release the build, they give us back a way to change tablet mode on/off at the users' preference, not according to to how windows wants to.
There might be an explanation as to why the tablet PC components are even available for me in the first place. I installed 'Super Display" on my new Lenovo Yoga 13 android tablet. and the PC part of the software installed a virtual display device that allows me to use the tablet as a touch screen monitor for windows. The monitor also has native built-in support to act as a secondary monitor for a PC via HDMI, but its touchscreen capabilities do not work with that. for now, I will uninstall the PC side of Super Display and see if that fixes things.
I've started having this issue on my custom built PC (not a Lenovo Yoga, not even a portable device!)
Googled it, found this thread, tried this solution, and it worked :)
Thanks!
Now Microsoft needs to officially fix this.
