In windows 10 I somehow enabled the checkboxes next to file names in File Explorer, which I quite liked (for some reason; I'm not sure what you gain from it). I was wondering if you can enable it in Windows 11 - and how.

Anyway, I was writing this discussion but have decided to change it to Article, as I figured out the way of doing so - so why not post my findings here.

In file explorer, at the top yet below tabs, selecting View, choose "Show". After completing, select Item Check boxes.


Not certain whether helping anyone, this will just be here incase you need it.

Thank you to brink for leading me to the tutorial. I searched, but obviously my parameters weren't correct. @Brink please feel free to delete this post now, it doesn't particularly serve a purpose.
