Win 11 ( 22621.160) - Dark mode - Explorer has a white toolbar - how to fix?
Hi all, can anyone help me get rid entirely (or turn dark) the old style white toolbar that is showing up in my explorer windows I have already set the bar to locked as per https://www.reddit.com...

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by going to the triple dot in the file explorer bar
then options -> view tab -> uncheck "Always show menus" (It was the second from the top for me)
I also did the registry edit in the other post, but it didn't have any effect. Not not sure if its doing something in combination with this, however.

I'm having the exact same issue. Got any luck dealing with it?

I fixed it by going to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
And deleting "AlwaysShowMenus", or set to zero.

I would suggest deleting the entry and reboot, because it seems like the entry is not even in windows 11, at least in mine it wasn't. Deleting worked for me, and the entry did not come back after reboot. I introduced that entry on my win11 when i imported a personalized registry file that came from a windows 10 customization.
