Windows 11 Folder View Bugs

Currently, as of Windows 11 build 22621.1344, it appears that installing StartAllBack, with the Explorer style option set to one of the classic views, is the only viable option for going back to the old Explorer code base that doesn't have these bugs.

Good news...

I reached out to Alison A., Forum Owner, Microsoft Community regarding these issues and got the following response:

I want to inform you that I have forwarded your feedback to the appropriate team, who have confirmed that they are already aware of this issue. They have identified that the issue is caused by a bug in the registry settings controlling the folder type, and they are actively working on a fix.

I can't explain why something they were already aware of, and has existed for over a year, has never made the "known issues" list, but at least there's hope these issues will be resolved some day in the not too distant future. I'll keep testing each new release with fingers crossed.

Today marks 800 days since Microsoft broke the feature Also apply this template to all subfolders.

That feature actually worked in the very early releases of Windows 11. It was broken by KB5008353 (build 22000.469) on January 25, 2022. Despite being told by someone at Microsoft a year ago "they are actively working on a fix", it remains broken (even in the current 24H2 builds).

Of course, those of us running the Windows 10 Explorer on Windows 11 (via your preferred mod) don't see this issue.
