Drop Shadow in PSE2020

Question

I recently followed instructions in a YouTube video to increase the canvas size and add a drop shadow to a few photos. It works perfectly in PSE 2020. But, at the end of the process, I did a select all and added a stroke (outline) around the white space. This added another shadow inside the stroke which I didn't want. The only way around this I found was to save the photo as a JPG after adding the drop shadow and then reload the photo and then add the stroke. Is there a better way to do this without the extra steps of saving as a JPG and then reloading it to add the stroke?

You could make a new blank layer, Select All then Edit>Stroke

This links to a video that is 10 years old and doesn't match the current versions.  It would be very helpful to have actual written steps instead of having to rewind and rewind and rewind videos to figure out what you are being instructed to do.
