One last screenshot and then I'm out of here...

Read & follow the instructions.

Or in the case of tabs: create yourself some tabsets with the ones you always want and reload them once it gets too messy.

As your folder seems to contain mostly .exe and .zip files, the most likely culprit would be AV scanning.
Try to exclude XY from your virus scanner and see if it makes a difference.

You might want to check out CEA (Custom Event Actions) where you can set whatever you want to happen on location changes and so much more.

The blue colour you are describing is showing the focused item thus needs to move to the list if you select a folder there.
Try "path tracing" in the tree for a visual hint.

I like the new airiness with 2 and only had to remove a few toolbar buttons that I hardly ever used anyway.

Using a foreach loop does the operations in the loop for one item at a time otherwise you need to look into selectitems and then work with the whole selection in one operation.

Double tree is - based on previous responses from admin to such requests - not going to happen in XY, so if this is so important to you, you might have to find it somewhere else.

Ask a friend with more IT knowledge who can have a look at your system either in person or via Teamviewer or similar.
There must be a way!

As your W10 computer will have a different folder/file structure (I assume), these cached thumbs will make no sense to copy from one computer to ...

View? Sort order?
So many questions and settings that could affect your experience, you might have to elaborate a bit more or even add some screenshots.

I have several drives mapped on my Synology NAS and create new folders regularly - though not excessively - in XY without any of the described problems. There must be some other factor to this. Side question, why does the OP need two instances for the described workflow? This could certainly be achi...

I think one warning should be given with this approach.
Whatever changes one makes while working with multiple instances might get lost if one is not careful about saving changes or if automatic save on exit is switched on, which of the instances is closed last.

Have you ever looked into tabsets? If not, this is the way to go when you want to reset whole panes to a predefined state. I have several tabsets for different tasks and I just load them into either pane whenever needed. If I want to change one of the preset tabsets I just make sure to save it befor...
