First of all I would like to say how well laid out this forum is. Just joined and hope to find some solution to my problem.
Windows 10 has many little problems, her are some with "Shift"!
If I want to let's say select 10 Files in Windows File Manager and click on the first one, press Shift and click on the last one. (I used this method since windows 3.1)
10 files are now selected, if I do this in Windows 3.1 to 7. Windows 10 ignores Shift and the click selects the last file and no other file is highlighted any more, the highlight just jumps to file 10!
I even tried to switch on "Use check boxes to select items", rebooted and nothing had changed. Can not even get check boxes!
In your blog Tutorials the is a section with File manger shortcuts which states:
Shift with any arrow key:"Select more than one item in a window or on the desktop or select text within a document"
No luck here either! Has any of you got an idea what is going wrong.
Sorry, I don't have this bug. I tested this and in my case the selection follow the expected pattern, i.e. shift-leftclick selects all files between this file and the file that I first selected. Are you sure you're using leftclick?Windows 10 ignores Shift and the click selects the last file and no other file is highlighted any more, the highlight just jumps to file 10!
I had the same problem. I unchecked "Use check boxes to select items" and that restored the Shift Click file selection function. I did not have to reboot.First of all I would like to say how well laid out this forum is. Just joined and hope to find some solution to my problem.

Try the Reset Folders button that we can see there on your View tab. Save views hold a servies of flags & sometimes FWF_SINGLESEL gets set & propagated through saved views.

I am having the same problem sporadically. I notice it particularly with Roxio DVD burn where I am trying to select multiple folders rather than mulitple files.Shift for selecting mulitple files not working.
