I use File Explorer on two very similar PCs.
On PC 1, File Explorer does not show the file count and number selected at the bottom left of the window. See PC 1.png, attached.
On PC 2, File Explorer shows the file count and number selected at the bottom left of the window. See PC 2 .png, attached.

This feature is very useful and I want it on both computers. As far as I am aware, the various settings are very close to identical.

Your thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you Fabler2!
That is the solution to a problem that has been irritating me for over 3 months! So simple, so obvious, SO overlooked!

I will think about you when I open File Explorer for a long time.
