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?

or

Are the Copy to, Move to options available on Win 10 still available on Win 11 Pro? If available how can I operate them?

3 A similar case with theVideo playing and Slide show options

I look forward to a full explanation and demonstration regarding these

    that didn't work. it should be noted that "Launch folder windows in a separate process" wasn't checked to begin with.

    1. Remove Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked
    2. Disable "Launch folder windows in a separate process" in Folder Options
    3. Restart File Explorer
    4. Open File Explorer - see if you have Win10 Ribbon

    Running...

    this tutorial doesn't work on the latest version of Windows 11. why on this god's green earth did they decide that screwing up the explorer ribbon for MILLIONS of users was a good thing? now just to do simple tasks such as copying or moving files i have to jump through extra hoops, increasing my workflow. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

    Oh my gosh, thank you!! I absolutely hate what Microsoft did to the File Explorer window. I do hope they change it back or at the minimum, give us a viable option to change it on our own. The tech companies really don't confer with real world users!

    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....
