Open folder listing in right pane of Windows Explorer without pressing Enter
Apologies for an obviously stupid question, but I have a problem with Windows 10 explorer I could not find a solution for myself.
When I'm keyboard-navigating the file structure in the left pane of the explorer, the content of folders I go to does not get shown in the right pane. If I want to see it while my cursor is on a particular folder in the left pane, I have to specifically press Enter. Then the content is shown on the right. Otherwise the previous folder listing remains there until I press Enter next time.
Can I force Windows 10 to do that just as it was possible in Windows XP?
Many thanks!
