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/r/WindowsHelp/comments/q4d7so/windows_11_white_bar_in_file_explorer_has_returned/
Thanks in advance
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.

- That fixed it, many thanks.
i did it, but the white toolbar is still there
Me too having inconsistencies in the dark-theme since latest (Explorer with tabs) update, any thoughts? When I first start my pc it comes in all white with black toolbar and when I click something (eg. a drive) it partially restores the dark theme. This is driving me nuts as a dark-theme daily-driver, the white patches just kills the purpose.
- 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.
