    That should work. Here's something to try, see if it will work. Restart in Safe Mode

    Safe Mode

    Navigate to Printers and Devices. Set View to Small icons, set Sort by to Name, set Group by to Classification

    Restart and see if the settings stick.

    If not, I'd run the System File Checker

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Rebuild Icon Cache

    Icon Cache - Rebuild

    Clear and Reset Thumbnail Cache

    Thumbnail Cache - Clear and Reset

    Hello Gunniz,

    Are you opening Devices and Printers from the exact same location from where you set the folder view for? For example, opening it from Start Menu vs Control Panel. Folder views are remembered by a per location opened from basis for the same folder, and will be different with each location it's opened from unless each location is set the same.

    If you are, then you might also see if resetting all folder views back to default and trying again may help.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
