    File Explorer Ribbons with Home Tabs greyed out


    For most of the afternoon today I have searched through Google and here to see if I can get the File Explorer Ribbons with Home Tabs fix. So far no luck to get this fix. I am not sure what is exactly the problem with this even I tried to right-click on desktop to get a new folder and nothing in the box. Any idea how to get this fix.

    Thank you,

    John

    How do I make the 'Home' Tab the default view (instead of 'File') in Windows 10

    There is no File ribbon, the File tab is a menu. Anytime you open a new File Explorer window, it always defaults to the Home tab. Are you not seeing this?

    The only way that I can think of is to have fresh install of Windows but don't like to see that I will lose some of the programs on my desktop. I will not do till someone think that if that is necessary to do have fresh install of Windows or not.

    There are two more steps to try before considering a clean install. The first is to open an elevated command prompt and run...

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image


    The next is to do an in-place repair install. This will keep all your files and installed apps.

    Want to say thank you to Bree and I used the top with " Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image. "

    It's working now.
