Lost Feature! What Happened to My File Details?

In this Microsoft Windows tutorial, we examine the changes in Windows File Explorer introduced by a recent Windows 11 update, highlighting the loss of a feature that displayed file details for multiple files simultaneously. This modification has significantly impacted users who rely on this feature for efficient file management. The tutorial discusses the broader implications of such changes in Microsoft's approach to software updates, including the trend of removing essential features. It also offers practical solutions, like custom scripting, to help users navigate these updates while maintaining their workflow efficiency. This guide is designed to assist users in adapting to these new changes and underscores the importance of user-centric software development.

Feedback Hub

I am writing to express concerns about recent updates to Windows 11's File Explorer. A notable issue is the removal of the feature that displayed the total length of multiple selected video files. This was a key tool for efficiently managing video content, and its absence necessitates the use of third-party utilities, which is not ideal. Additionally, the changes in taskbar behavior, particularly the inability to ungroup programs, have added inconvenience. Innovation in software development is important, but it should not come at the cost of removing established and useful features. The balance between introducing new functionalities and preserving essential, familiar features is crucial for a positive user experience. I urge the development team to consider the impact of such changes and to provide options that cater to both new and long-time users of Windows. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I look forward to seeing more user-friendly enhancements in future updates.

Update

As of 2023-11-23, the latest Windows 11 update has added the ability to not combine Taskbar buttons back in. See my notes on the Never Combine page for details.

PowerShell Script

Here's a copy of my PowerShell script. It needs to be launched from a Batch file. So just edit both of these files to set the directory (folder) your video files are in. Save them both. Then run the BAT file. It will in turn launch the PowerShell script.
