Windows Explorer

When using "Windows Explorer" I get two different outcomes when I click on a
subfolder icon.

Desktop computer: When I click on a subfolder Icon it displays the folders
contents.

LapTop computer: When I click on a subfolder Icon and it displays the
search side bar without rhw folders contents, (goes directly to a seach
screen.)

I have searched high and low for a menu option that will alter the action
taken when clicking on a folder icon, no luck.

So I ask; How can I set the action taken when selecting on a Subfolder Icon
and prevent it from opening the search sidebar?

I just want the folder to "explore" vs "seach"
