iTunes: Cannot revert library display to column view

I have just managed to change the way my iTunes library is displayed. I used to have a screen which had columns showing the track name, the album, the artist, composer, genre, no of plays etc. Now I've just got all the artists listed next to the side bar. I thought I would be able to change this via View but it doesn't give me this option. Any help would be appreciated.

Windows, Windows 10

I assume that you're using the Songs View, which has the option to show all the heading that you mention.


First of all, if the Artist column is the only one you can see, is there a scroll bar at the bottom of the window, that suggests there are other columns to the right? If so, use the scroll bar to drag the view so that is shows other columns.


If this is one if the issues, you can re-size the column by grabbing the column in the header bar (by right-clicking the right hand edge of the header) and re-sizing it to the size you require.


You can drag columns to other positions, so drag the artist column to the place you want it to be, by left-clicking the middle of the header and dragging it to your required position.
