Keep folder "icon view size" on a per folder basis

Hello,

I just updated to Windows 10 a few days ago, and since then I noticed this very annoying issue when I browse my files.
On Windows 8.1 I had certain folders where I have on purpose the view of the icons set to "large", for examples folders with images and in other folders I have it set to "details", especially the ones for document files or download folders. Now it uses the same setting to EVERY folder across the system, which is really annoying.

How can I set it so that each view option in folders is saved on a per folder basis?
 
Go to the folder options (open folder, go to view, options) and reset the folder view options.

It should always treat folders as independent and keep folder view settings (up to a certain amount, until you clean jump-lists, and only for folders on fixed drives)
 
Thank you for the answer, I have just tried that now and it doesn't work.

Documents (I want details)
Documents -> Work (I want details)
Documents -> Photoshop Work (I want large icons).

It seems whatever I set in a sub-folder in the Documents folder, it's being applied across all sub folders in the document folder, including the main document folder.

I also noticed another issue, that when I download files or export pictures in Photoshop, they sometimes just don't appear. Even when I sort by date, it won't show up. When I re-download, it tells me the file already exists. I can also refresh the folder, file is still not there. Only when I restart windows the file appears. It seems the folders are caching the files somehow and it doesn't show me the latest version.
I guess I will create a separate thread for this issue.

Oh dear, nothing but problems with Windows 10. Past 7 years I have used a Mac, never had an issue. 2 months Windows 10 and I count about 10 severe issues that really make my efficiency suffer.
