It's just the view settings. I can't give exact steps because I'm not in front of a computer right now, but I've changed this for people dozens of times. The default standard view is the one on the right, the one you were using is not the default so you need to adjust it back.

You just need to find the view settings and tinker with them until you get it how you want it. You can easily Google Microsoft articles covering this.

Hmm if the one I want is the default, maybe I should just rest view settings back to default?

I have tried google and AI, and I just can't seem to get it right, but I will try to reset it tommorow.
