Windows 10: Folders are invisible now...

Hello,I am using the new windows system 11, and I just got a system upgraded. but after the system completed the upgrade and restarted, I click "This PC" to open my files, all those folds such as Download, Music, Pictures, Videos, etc ... all of those folders disappeared. what I can see is Windows C: icon. Those folders are not really gone, I still can find them, they are just not there when I click "This PC". Where are those folders? and how can I get them back as usual? Is this new style how this been designed? This is not convenient to use. If you know how to fix it, please help here, tha

Invisible folder

Thanks, but I always enable Hidden files.

Arduino is a folder containing a score of subfolders and over a hundred files. As mentioned, I can open any of them in various ways - apart from directly first opening the invisible folder!

 

Can't create an invisible folder



I wanted to create an invisible folder, but if I select any of 4 invisible icons it creates a folder with a black square icon.

Any idea how to fix it?
