Weird blue outline in file explorer
Before this, it used to be a solid grayish background, without the acual blue border. I think it's because of an update, did anyone beside me notice it? Is there a way to revert to the old look without uninstalling the uppdate itself?

Must be normal behavior since no one else has commented at all.
- Open File Explorer and go to the View tab.
- Click on Options > Change folder and search options.
- Go to the View tab and uncheck "Use check boxes to select items". This might eliminate some unnecessary outlines or highlight effects.
The weird blue outline you’re seeing in File Explorer on Windows 11 is likely due to the changes Microsoft has introduced in their more recent updates. This is part of the modern design aesthetic they are pushing, but it can be distracting or unappealing to some users.
