    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    As far as I know, under the Group Policy Editor: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer, I did not find the relevant "Always open File Explorer in large icon view" option.

    However, you can try to modify the registry to achieve this. Please open the registry editor and navigate to the following paths in sequence:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

    New value name IconView, value type REG_DWORD, value data 1, click "OK" to save changes.

    On the target computer, you can force an immediate update by running "gpupdate /force" in the command prompt.

    Please note: back up the registry before modifying it.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,

    Yanhong Liu
