after installing 26300.9539 updater from windows update in insider release preview of 26H2
my explorer became ugly and as far i know it is the old explorer with new UI not loading
so i miss tabs option
i did full reset of vivetools and other than that i don't have any program that can influence it it was all right till that update i did SFC /scannow (normal)
