  1. File explorer


    I genuinely don't know how but today when I booted my Pc the entire file explorer is gone. I tried quite some trouble shooting but nothing seems to help. I can boot the pc and use everything pre existing just not manage my downloads or whatever uses the explorer. Would like to know what I could do to maybe reinstall it?
