    File Explorer Ribbon Missing - Windows 10 2004


    I am on windows 10 build 2004. For some reason, my explorer ribbon is missing. I have attached a screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

    This problem started long after the Windows 2004 update. I have not installed any updates in the past 2 weeks.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    File Explorer Ribbon or Tool Bar

    Hello,

    We understand that you want to keep the ribbon open in File Explorer.

    There are ways on how to achieve this. Here are some of it. Kindly check the methods below:

    Hide or show the Ribbon using a Registry tweak

    • Open Registry Editor.
    • Go to the following key:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

      If this key does not exist, just create it.
    • Create or modify the 32-bit DWORD value named ExplorerRibbonStartsMinimized. explorerribbonstartsminimized

      Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows you must still create a 32-bit DWORD value.
      • To start Explorer with the Ribbon always minimized, set the ExplorerRibbonStartsMinimized value data to 3.
      • To start Explorer with the Ribbon always maximized, set it to 4. Delete the ExplorerRibbonStartsMinimized parameter to restore the default behavior.
      • Delete the ExplorerRibbonStartsMinimized parameter to restore the default behavior.

    Using a Group Policy tweak, you can force Explorer to always start with the Ribbon minimized.

    • Press Win + R keys together on your keyboard.
    • The Run box will appear. Type the following in the Run box and then press Enter:
      • gpedit.msc
    • In the left pane of Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path:
      • User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ File Explorer
    • Now locate the setting called Start File Explorer with Ribbon minimized in the right pane and double click it. The policy configuration window will open.
    • Set the option to the "Enabled" state and pick the option below it which is suitable for you.

    Update us with the result so we can further assist you.
