I am trying to change the Folder Options. The Advanced Settings has a number of checkboxes under Files and Folders. I cannot edit these at all. Clicking on the boxes does nothing at all.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    You can downgrade, here are some steps on how to do this:

    Insert the USB flash drive in your Windows 11 PC and disconnect any other nonessential USB devices; then go to https://aka.ms/downloadwindows10.

    Under the heading "Create Windows 10 installation media," click Download Tool Now.

    Run the Media Creation Tool Installer and follow the prompts to create bootable Windows 10 installation media using your USB flash drive. Leave the drive attached to your Windows 11 PC.

    Go to Settings > System > Recovery and, under the Advanced Startup heading, click Restart Now.

    At the Windows 11 recovery menu, choose Use A Device and select your USB drive. When you see the prompt to boot from the USB drive, tap the spacebar to start Windows Setup.

    Follow the prompts to install Windows 10. When you reach the step where you're asked to enter a product key, click I Don't Have A Product Key and then be certain to choose the edition (Home or Pro) that you're "downgrading" from.

    When the installation is complete, you should boot into Windows 10, and the operating system should activate automatically. You'll need to install the latest updates, and you might need to download some drivers from the PC maker's website.

    Once you've restored your data files and reinstalled any apps, you can get back to work.

    I would love to take a screenshot, but saving anything is another problem. Any time Explorer opens nothing works. I can't see my files. I can't view anything. I can't edit anything. This is a brand new computer. Windows 11 is unusable. Is there a way i can take a new computer and remove Win 11 and install Win 10? I've never been so frustrated with an operating system, and I've used computers since 1983.

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    Could you take a screenshot of this dialog and show which options you are trying to change?
