A fix is coming... eventually
File Explorer is such an important part of Windows 10 that it’s rather unforgivable that Microsoft has introduced a problem and not yet fixed it.
However, it does seem like Microsoft is working on a fix, with it included in early preview builds of
Windows 10 20H1, which is due out in early 2020.
While it’s good to know a fix is coming, it’s rather frustrating that, as
Windows Latest notes, the version of Windows 10 with the fix, Build 19013, was actually sent to testers a few weeks before the November 2019 Update was released. That means Microsoft shipped a Windows 10 Update while knowing there was an issue – which isn’t a good look.
