Does The Shortcut "Alt + Enter" for Viewing Properties work only for single file or folder?

Question

Hello,

Does The Shortcut "Alt + Enter" for Viewing Properties work only for single file or folder? It "sometimes" shows the property window for a file, a folder w/o subfolders. But I noticed that "Alt + Enter" does not work for a drive or folders with subfolders. But we still can see the "view properties" menu if we use the right-click of the mouse. Could you fix "Alt + Enter" to work for everything like any drive, any folder, and any file?

Hello Jeehoon Choe, welcome to the Microsoft Community!

Thank you for your feedback.

Let me help you with your question

The shortcut key “Alt + Enter” does have some limitations when used to view properties.

It usually works for individual files or folders without subfolders, but in some cases it may not work for drives or folders that contain subfolders.

This is a known issue and may behave differently in different versions of Windows.

At this time, there is no simple setting or tweak to fix “Alt + Enter” to work for everything (i.e. drives, any folder, and files).

Thank you very much for your feedback on this issue and it is very valuable!
