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.

This bar randomly appears for me too. There is no always show menus in the view options any more, the only way to get rid of this is to close the explorer window and re-open it.

RobinEd You can also open a new explorer tab n close the original one, same effect.
