    Why is Favorites and Recent missing from File Explorer in Windows 11?

    Hi Paulo,

    I have perform updates in Windows, but File Explorer is still not showing Favorites and Recent sections.

    Run Windows in-place upgrade, the Windows IOS, which does the installation and restarts, still not showing Favorites and Recent sections.

    What is wrong with File Explorer in Windows 11?

    Why is Favorites and Recent missing from File Explorer in Windows 11?

    Even though I have added files to Favorites in the File Explorer, the File Explorer just does not show Favorites.

    There used to have Recent files in Windows 10, but now I don't see any Recent files being listed with the new Windows 11.

    Did the Restore Defaults in the File Options under the 3 dots ''...'' makes no difference.

    Please help me to turn on Favorites and Recent in File Explorer in my laptop running Windows 11.

    Thank you!

Are they hiding them somewhere? Is there a...
