Please refresh my memory...

Why is the file manager so lame it cannot display folder
size?

Right click on it and select "properties" at the bottom.

Or just look at the status bar.

Huh? I am looking at the status bar, it says...

"11 items, 1 item selected"

See mine...

It shows the size of the files within the selected folder but does
not recurse folders within the folder.

dadiOH,


It looks like you have "Classic Shell" installed.

Do you?


Yep


Thanks! It's "Classis Shell" that provides the extra info in the

Explorer Status bar. Windows 10 out of the box does NOT show the 87.0KB

that your Red Arrow points to.

Perhaps that is what OP needs?


I just turned Classic Shell off, the status bar still shows total sizes of
files - files, not folders - within a selected folder/
