Finder: "Use as Defaults" never works

[Ben777]

I love my Mac and OS very much! But there are few details that keep annoying me for years. On of them:

Why is it not possible to make the settings for Finder stick to all Finder windows for good?

- For some reason "Use as Defaults" doesn't transfer settings to all Finder windows.

- To be particularly clear, choices like what columns I see (size, kind, data added etc.) and icon size doesn't transfer to all Finder windows. Simply put, it doesn't become "default" after I hit "Use as Defaults" button.

Again and again I browse the internet for the answer, but instead I just find many more complaints of this kind with no real answer.

Did anyone solved this problem? Can you share the secret? Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the problems.

Personally, have not seen this re columns, etc. Might try: bring up Finder window, setup what you want to see, close the Finder window, bring up a new one.

For me, see window placement being off from time to time (not just Finder: Terminal, Safari), and this seems to get things back to square one.
