Question

How to change desktop display?

May 14, 2020 8:23AM PDT

I think it was when windows updated, but my laptop now displays like desktop in the top of the attached image.

I'd like it to look similar to the more traditional desktop in the bottom half of the attached image, with smaller icons and no side menus. I looked in the Display settings but couldnt find anything there. Any advice on how to do this is appreciated.
