Windows 10: Folder not showing in file explorer but can be located by manually entering address??

I have a folder Bioware that is missing from file explorer view in My Documents folder, but it is still there if you manually enter the full address to the folder. I located it by doing a document search on one of the sub folders using the file explorer document search, but the main folder will not show in file explorer, nor can it be located using the file explorer document search. The only way I can access the folder, is to manually type in the folder address, or run a file explorer document search for one of it's sub folders.


This is a new computer I just built 4 weeks ago, with a fresh windows installation on a new hard drive. All windows updates are present, and all drivers are updated.


Any ideas?

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions

 

Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

Is this a step in the right direction?

 

File Explorer jump list doesn't consistently show location popups


Thanks for your reply.

Whatever "it" is exactly, all I know is, it does not behave consistently. This is so across multiple systems. Also, it isn't just recent items, but pinned items that fail to produce the popup on mouse over (when they should).

If the File Explorer setting you're referring to is "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items," I already have that turned on.

Based on my tests, I tend to think this is a bug. Did you try reproducing it?

1. Right click File Explorer in taskbar to open the jump list.
2. Mouse over any of the pinned or recent folders and see if the popup with the location path appears (as shown in the screenshot with the original post).
3. If it does appear, close out of the jump list by left clicking anywhere outside of it.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you find the popups not appearing. In my experience, it always occurs, even if not right away. And all too often when I need them most.
