How to Remove the White Line Below the Address Bar in File Explorer in Windows 11, 10, and 8?

This guide will show you how to remove the weird white line below the address bar in Windows File Explorer in Windows 11, 10, and 8.

I have shown the steps on Windows 11; however, you can ensure that all the steps will also work on Windows 10 and Windows 8.

Although the white line exists in both light mode and dark mode in Windows 11, it usually disturbs the dark mode users because of the contrast. However, because we'll be able to remove it in 8 simple steps, you don't need to worry about it anymore.

Let's start.

Removing The White Line in File Explorer

1. Open File Explorer.

2. Hit the F11 key on your keyboard. This makes File Explorer full-screen.
   

3. Hit the Alt key on your keyboard. This makes visible the File Explorer menu.

4. Right-click on the File Explorer menu made visible in the previous step. Then, click on the Lock the toolbars option.
   

5. Right-click on the File Explorer menu again to ensure that the Lock the toolbars option has been checked.

6. Hit Alt again to hide the menu.

7. Hit F11 again to exit from full-screen mode.

8. It's done. You won't see the weird white line anymore.
