Classic file explorer on Windows 11

Hello guys, I have this problem.

 

Since I updated to Windows 11, I always had the "classic" file explorer, just like Windows 10. (My current Windows version: 21H2 | 22000.168)

 

Any idea how to fix it? 

 

Best regards.

    Well, Windows 11 changed the look of File Explorer. I read there's a registry edit that can possibly restore it to the Windows 10 look. I'm not sure if that still works, and don't even advice it, especially if you don't know how to edit the registry. There's an app that also gives you the Windows 3.11 File Manager (doesn't replace file File Explorer). But, outside of that, I think what you see is what it is with Windows 11 File Explorer. Here's the Windows 3.11 File Manager App: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-file-manager/9p7vbbbc49rb?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
