Windows 10: File Explorer Windows10, office 2016 not showing file details

I have looked in the community, where this issue is common. I have tried every option suggested (options on folders in Explorer,task manager, command prompts as per one of the replies. but I still cannot visualise all of my files ( powerpoint, excel etc) in the folders. It is very frustrating as you have to search programmes individually to find the file you know you have & where it is located. This is supposed to be the OLD function of File explorer & a very basic task. If it's not broken don't fix it. I have done all the updates & now I feel I have to contact the community.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks
