That's why I use Agent Ransack there is also a more Paranoid Ops friendly named version called FileLocator Lite.
It turns out a lot of people, myself included, when asking if they could install Agent Ransack were told "No!" or as in my case the network admin said "There's no way I am going to allow to to install software with the name ransack in it!" so they simply released a version with another name and people like me then get to use it.

Doesn't work that way for me. Sorts the displayed results. I am using W10. Is it possible that it was still doing the search when you changed sort? I tried doing this by searching ".dll" in entire computer and sorting did not seem to affect anything on UI.

Hmmm, well, getting closer to a response to the original question....
Unlikely - I'm testing it again though. I have nothing but SSDs, so the searches are usually fast but they are obvious (green bar running across the screen). I've seen this behavior for so long to include Windows 7.
Would your drive be indexed perhaps? I turn off indexing as it makes no sense on SSDs.
I just did a search across my data drive for all DLLS. Default was sorting by date modified. Sorting by name - off it goes.

Yes, the SSD is indexed (it is the way it is). I also have HDD which is also indexed. The search I am doing is across both drives.
It is weird though that I cannot see sort order changes during search itself affecting anything. I am not sure if it does anything in background. Once the results are out, any change does not seem to trigger search again.
Move to Windows 10 they say. Everything is great here they say.

Well, went off and indexed one of the drives. Same search behavior. File this under things that make you go hmmm.

Why doesn't everyone use either xplorer2[^] (free & paid versions, but IMO the best) or Q-Dir[^] (always free, and damned near the best)?
Or, indeed, any one of the dozens of other non-ms file explorers[^] that are available.
They all have one thing in common: They're better than the one that's bundled with windows.

I do sometimes wonder if Windows is an operating system. When it fails at the basic task of presenting a view on to the filing system it seems more like a noperating system (spacing deliberate).

Well, I'll have to track down those other tools and pick one. As much as Microsoft pushes tools to refactor things, their lack of refactoring is breathtaking at times.
Meanwhile, new icons are coming...

In some ways, this makes sense. If the same explorer code is used across windows environments. Then certainly when running on a server (where multiple people may update, rename, add files), you would want a full refresh.
|
|
|
|

Huh, valid point. But only if you are on a server. Since Windows originates from a desktop (single user) I'd still say a refresh makes more sense.
I'd wager Windows 95, 98 and XP do this as well.

Cool  . My introduction to Tangerine Dream was Love On A Real Train from the Risky Business soundtrack in 1980. I've got several of their albums.
I'm sure they're an acquired taste, especially for the heavily metal crowd  here on CP.

So many great German bands in the seventies - TD, Neu!, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Can, Ashra Tempel, Guru Guru ... the list goes on.

Can you recommend a good album to start with?
I was a big fan of Jean Michel Jarre back in the 80s and I seem to have missed Tangerine Dream.

They are not a group I listened to a lot. I actually liked the instruments and arrangements they used in the previously linked video better than the originals. That being said,
- If you like early Pink Floyd 'ballad albums' check out Stratosfear.
- Other than that, just pick an album on YouTube and start listening.
- I had what I believe was a compilation album called 'Tangerine Dream' that I liked a lot of songs on. I don't quickly see it with a google, but it did bring up this, which is keeping me listening.
Others will have better suggestions. The first album I believe I got was Tyger. Played the title song repeatedly for awhile.

Thanks
Tyger is great - William Blake is one of my favourite poets, so it's great to hear his poetry put to music.
