Explorer apparently populates one of those soon after you launch it and resets the view then.

So that seems like a fix provided you don't want to use those auto population options for Quick access.

Actually it hasn't changed now for the whole 5 minutes or so that it took me to type this post! Now I've unchecked both of these and now I'm able to launch Explorer, scroll down to where I wanted to be, and it would be maybe a minute or two before the view makes its jump. I had 2 options checked: under "Privacy", "Show recently used files in Quick access" and "Show frequently used folders in Quick access". Thanks Mark Munkholm for the tips about Explorer options. I would launch Explorer and scroll down to perhaps the last drive, open that and open another folder, then a few seconds after launching Explorer the view would be reset, jumping back to the top page somewhere. This is a shockingly persistent problem and massively annoying. The advise was, to switch the automatic pick of the accent color off. Somebody posted an answer, the culprit is the automatic Accent Color for your background. The movement isn't slow, as if it was scrolled back up, but occurs immediately.Īny way to determine why it's happening or what I can do to stop it? In order to ensure it's not me accidentally scrolling with my laptop's touchpad, I have scrolled down and then completely taken my hands away from the computer, and it still moves back up after a few seconds. I tried changing the View option to see if setting it to a horizontally-scrolling view would stop it from moving, but it still pops back to the beginning of the folder. This occurs no matter how far down in the folder I am. The folder view will "jump" back to the first files in the folder after a few seconds. In File Explorer, if the folder I'm in contains enough files that there's a scroll bar, it won't let me stay scrolled down. I've been using Windows 10 for a couple days now, and this is something that's been continuously occurring since the upgrade and is fairly annoying.

Win10 – File Explorer "jumps" to top of folder The behavior can be found in all Windows 10 versions – I remembered having seen it in forums like this as early as 2015. Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes and sometimes only seconds. What is particularly stupid is that this uncontrollable scroll problem occurs randomly in Windows 10. This is not only confusing and annoying, but can lead to renaming or similar operations that require constant re-navigation. Suddenly, the Explorer scroll bar automatically jumps or scrolls up and the top of the folder appears. The user scrolls down a folder branch to see the bottom contents. The problem occurs on Windows 10 when a user navigates between folders in Explorer.
