Changing Win10's default view to details with s9

[Android Central Question]

How the heck do I change the default view in Windows 10 to use details instead of tiles when viewing my Samsung Galaxy S9's file system as if it were a flash drive via USB?
The "Customize this folder" doesn't appear when right clicking to set the standard view I want, and the "apply to folders" is dimmed if I goto options->view tab->apply to folders after manually setting the view how I want it.
I often want to see the date modified field- which gets removed every time I navigate to a new folder-when syncing my fanfic library with the copy stored on my phone so I can do an incremental backup instead of a full one (which takes hours due to tens of thousands of small chapter files, while an incremental of just the new stuff can take only a few minutes, but I have to check every folder).

Sorry if this is more of a Windows question, but it only happens with my S9, not my Kindle, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, or flash drives (either thumb drives or SD cards).

You can't change it.

The way the android file system is read by Windows is that it assumes it's a media device. Not a removable USB, which is likely how the Kindle is read.

I hate it too, but as long as the phone reads device memory - both internal and SD card - through MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), that's how a PC will read it.

To read as a removable USB, the device needs to be in "mass storage mode". Unfortunately, that option was removed from android way back around 4.1 or so.
