No longer able to use old studio explorer?

Yesterday I had to factory reset my PC, and I had previously had no issues with Studio. I had the old explorer because there was still a setting to turn off. Fast forward to today and one factory reset later, there is no option in the Beta Settings to bring back the old explorer?? I didn’t have any visual styles toggled and didn’t have the “Next Gen Studio Preview” enabled which leads me to believe it’s gone. What do I do? The new explorer DOES NOT work for me, and there’s still too many issues for me to reliably use it.

Also on a potentially unrelated note, my studio crashes everytime I try to open one of my projects. I tried to run as admin, clear cache, and change the visual mode, but nothing would change and it would keep crashing.

This is terrible, we shouldn’t be forced to use new updates just because times are changing. People were using the old UI for YEARS and years and to just force people to use something new is a bad move

Try this. I found some things (and a few others on the DevForum) to bring the old one back. This works for me and many others: Is Next-gen explorer now forced on everyone? - #19 by Denied_ID

Honestly i’d rather use the terrible new UI than jump hurdles to get an old UI back.

Thank you so much! This works for me, and ironically seemed to fix the crashing too
This new explorer should not have been released so early on to where it’s still pretty broken for most people
