I'd love to know A) why the path bar randomly drops down its "recently used" menu while you're trying to do stuff and B) why Escape doesn't close it again.

Rikkitic:

This could have gone in the Windows thread but I feel it fits better here. I am really annoyed by the latest (10 and 11) OS upgrades to File Explorer which is now so chaotic and confusing that I can't use it at all anymore. Maybe it just me and everyone else thinks it is all just marvelous but all I see is a complete mess of incomprehensible bits and bobs all over the place with overlays and hidden elements that make no sense whatsoever. Even the file path has been truncated so you can't easily see where you are. I guess I could go to Microsoft University for four years to learn how it all works, if it does, but instead I have just installed a very old version of my favourite file manager Powerdesk. It is a gem of rational simplicity. There are visible windows, which can be adjusted in all dimensions, with clear paths that just show you where the file you are working on is located and context menus that give you all the tools you need with just a click. What a revelation!

This is annoying me RIGHT NOW.

Now I have some files in a folder, I can see them but can't easily work out which folder they are in!
