Ive disabled any services Im not using and Im still having this issue. This tutorial will show you how to change or increase the folder view settings cache memory size for your account in Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11 to have Windows remember more of your folder view settings. I did another clean install of Windows 10 and updated all drivers to current. If you find Windows not remembering your folder view settings, you can increase the cache memory size (BagMRU Size) up to a maximum of 20,000 folders to be remembered instead of the default 5,000 folders. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU Windows stores the folder view settings of the current user in the registry key below for each folder until the limit has been reached.

After you reach the default 5000 folders limit (BagMRU Size), Windows will no longer remember anymore folder view settings you apply. Folder view settings include the File Explorer window size, template, column width, Group by, Sort by, and layout view of items in each folder.īy default, Windows will only remember the first 5000 folders you apply folder view settings to. You can change the folder view settings in Windows to what you want for each separate folder.
