    File Explorer Ribbon / Menu Missing


    As you can see from the inserted picture, the tab, and menu or ribbon do not show on File Explorer. This is an intermittent issue, and sometimes clears up if I close and restart File Explorer, and sometimes I have to restart the computer.I have done a clean reinstall of Windows 11 Pro, and it is still happening.Any thoughts on how to diagnose and possibly fix this?To be honest, it looks to me like another Win11 bug. Is there a way I can report it to MS with a screenshot?

    :)

    File explorer ribbon missing

    I am on windows 10 build 2004. For some reason, my explorer ribbon is just missing. I looked through a few old forum posts on here, but they suggest opening the drop down menu at the top, which is also somehow missing for me. Attached a screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

    Right click above the Address bar and UNcheck minimize the ribbon? OR... are you looking for the File, Computer, View buttons?
