This solution solved my issue, I removed the entire group of keys in regedit, always a scary place to play, make sure you always have a backup:
Release 5.17.6 doesn't show column type for remote!

Hello, I have tried everything I could to display the Type column and for some odd reason it will just not display. I do use this all the time to sort items by this, which is super useful on a large list. Perhaps it a version issue > 6.0.2 RC 13564

Thank you, outside of that, the new version has a great UI and can't wait to see what is next. ;)
