Though there's a lot of unnecessary whitespace around the icons above the address bar, so I'd be more interested in getting rid of those entirely, and just having the address bar containing several buttons, and advanced functionality reserved for the right-click menu or a drop-down list. I sometimes use the back, forward and up directory buttons, and those are still there. Honestly though, the Ribbon UI was a mess, and a waste of screen real-estate, full of clutter that most would rarely use, or that could be accessed just as easily through the right-click menu or keyboard shortcuts. And of course, Windows 11 isn't even releasing until later in the year, with the current, feature-incomplete pre-release only available for beta-testing, so it can't be considered a finished product at this stage. Do you need to install 3rd-party audio drivers too? I'm just glad I'm at a point now where I don't 'need' Windows for anything other than PC gaming.So, what do you use? Linux, where you need to search for some obscure console command or manually edit config files to accomplish similar things? Or other operating systems, where you might not even get the option to revert changes to the interface?Īnd in this case, as has been pointed out, there's apparently an option right in the settings to revert to the old style, so no registry editing was even required. Anyway, someone else deserves credit for finding this one.I'm just passing it along.
I saw it somewhere else two days ago, but now I cannot recall where I found it. No need to edit the registry.īTW, this isn't something I came up with. If you want to switch back to the abbreviated Windows 11 icons instead of the Windows 10 ribbon, just reverse the process and uncheck the "Launch folder windows in a separate process box" so that it is unchecked.Įasy peasy. Re-launch (or open) File Explorer again and voila' you will have your old Windows 10 ribbon in Windows 11. MAKE SURE THE BOX IS CHECKED, and then click on "Apply" and then click on "OK" and close Windows File Explorer. Scroll down the list of items and look for "Launch folder windows in a separate process":
Select "View" again from the three tabs available in "Folder Optinon" (i.e., from General, View and Search). Open Windows File Explorer and select the "View" menu (File, Home, Share View, etc.).pick "View" When running Window 11, you can get the Windows 10 ribbon by simply unchecking a box in the "View" menu of "Folder Options".
It is definitely not necessary to edit the registry.
