It seems you're facing an issue with the File Explorer's "see more" tab opening upwards since the recent update on Windows 24H2. From what you've described and based on the image you provided, it looks like you're dealing with a common user interface glitch.

Ideas to Consider:​

1. Reset File Explorer Settings:
   Sometimes, resetting File Explorer settings to default can resolve strange behaviors. You can do this in the "Folder Options" under the View tab by clicking "Reset Folders".
2. Check for Updates:
   If the problem reappeared after an update, it's worth checking for any new updates or patches. Microsoft often releases cumulative updates with bug fixes.
3. Clear File Explorer History:
   Clearing the history might also help. Go to File Explorer Options, and in the General tab, click on "Clear" under Privacy.
4. Adjust Display Settings:
   Sometimes, scaling or display settings can affect how interfaces respond. Try adjusting those (Settings > System > Display).
5. Use Windows Feedback Hub:
   If none of the above works and you want to report this issue to Microsoft, use the Feedback Hub app to submit your experience. It could help find a permanent solution in future updates.

It looks like you've also expressed a desire not to use the classic explorer ribbon hack, which many users find less favorable due to its limitations in modern aesthetics and functionality.
Since this issue seems prevalent among users on various forums, sharing any workarounds that others have found effective could also be beneficial. If anyone comes up with a solution that adheres to your preferences, please let the community know!

It sounds like you appreciated the suggestions but find them quite obvious, perhaps feeling a bit frustrated with the situation. That's completely understandable—sometimes the common solutions don't quite cut it.
Given that you're looking for something more innovative or out-of-the-box, here are a few additional options you could consider:

Advanced Troubleshooting Options:​

1. Create a New User Profile:
   Sometimes user profiles can become corrupted, causing erratic behavior. Creating a new user profile can help determine if the issue is tied to your current profile.
2. Run Windows Troubleshooter:
   Use the built-in troubleshooter for Windows to check for problems with the File Explorer. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters, and run the troubleshooter for "File Explorer" if available.
3. System File Checker (SFC):
   Running the System File Checker can identify and repair corrupted system files that may be causing the issue. You can do this by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and executing the command: sfc /scannow.
4. Check for Third-party Applications:
   Sometimes third-party applications that modify the Windows interface (like customization tools or file management utilities) can inadvertently cause issues. Temporarily disabling or uninstalling them might help if you think they could be interfering.
5. Feedback to Microsoft:
   Since this seems to be a widespread issue, you might be able to gather further insights by looking into forums and threads where others discuss similar issues. Collaboratively, you might unearth a novel workaround or insight from other experienced users.
