1 I have just updated my 21H2 to 22H2 where I cannot re-install Windows 10 File explorer Ribbon which was possible earlier with Win 11 21H2. How can I effect this?

The old explorer is still there, if you open a run box and type control, hit enter to open control panel then press Alt+Up Arrow then Windows 10 explorer is back. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way of keeping it like this, for now I am just opening a couple of windows like this and trying to remember not to shut them down. Doesn't really feel like progress to be honest, typical MS, why not give people a choice instead of forcing this garbage that no one asked for....
Sadly, when I go to the registry editor, in shell extensions I only see
Approved" and "Cached". "No Blocked"
Why did Microsoft take a useable tool and hide it. Lack of concern for their customers.
Thanks for your response. But it has not worked again. The only difference in your string value is there are some capital letters which were small in the value which I had used. Anyway , both have failed to bring back the Win 10 style of the Ribbon. I had tried the same before I sought here only to fail the procedure. Yet It did work on the Win 11 22H1 which I have mentioned in my post!
It has been failing to work on the Win 11 22H2 version.
It works as far as it goes but it is not permanent, so not very practical.
Why the hell did Microsoft think that it was a good idea to reduce productivity?
Thw Win 10 Ribbon was not broken, so why try and fix it?
What a lash up. Come on Microsoft. Sort it out and revert. Or, at the very least, make it an option to choose which ribbon we want to use.
I have tried this, I'm on 22H2 build 22621.608 and it doesn't work. This is really frustrating because I found the original explorer ribbon much easier to use and judging by the number of posts about it, a lot of other users did also. One function I use a lot is to resize all columns to fit, which I could do with a single click, now I have to right click and select it.
