  1. File Explorer


    Just got a new computer recently and I noticed that in the file explorer, the information in the bottom left-hand corner of the window telling you how many "items" are in the folder, and how big the folder is, is missing. I don't remember having to do configure anything to get that to show up on my last computer, so what gives? It's not that big a deal or anything, but it's pretty annoying to not immediately know how many files I have in a folder I open without having to go through properties and stuff. Can anyone give me a hand?

    Pic related, the information bar usually appears at the bottom of the screen with the text being in the far left corner of that bar.

    File explorer

    Hi Mick,

    I am sorry to know that the File Explorer is not working on the Taskbar.

    I suggest you to right-click on it to unpin it from the task bar.

    Then search for File Explorer in Search. Then right-click on it to Pin it to Taskbar.

    If the issue persists, try the steps below.


    • Type CMD in Search. Right click on it to run as an administrator.

    • Type the following 4 commands at the Command prompt:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    sfc /scannow

    powershell

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}


    • Close the CMD window.

    • Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.
    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
