Windows 10: Folders section disappeared in "This PC" file explorer view Win + E after installing...

Greetings Members,Yesterday, the folders section which shows the 6 folders Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, Videos in This PC file explorer window disappeared.I checked windows update in my laptop and noticed update "2022-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems KB5019980" have got installed around the same time. Anyone out there has got the same problem?Or is it what Microsoft intended to do in this update?Also, you can notice that the Tabbed File Explorer feature has been rolled out through this update.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Files remain in original folder after moving them to new folder in file explorer

Hi,

The issue that you’ve encountered regarding the File Explorer may be caused by some configuration or files mismatched. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you reset the folder settings from the
Folder Options. This will reboot the folder’s preferences to its default state and remove any possible software conflict. To do this, you may follow these steps:

• Click Start, type File Explorer, and press
  Enter.
• On the File Explorer window, click the View tab > Options > Change folder and search options > View.
• Under the Folder views section, click Reset Folders, and then select
  Yes to confirm.
• Once you’re done, click OK, and then check if the issue persists.

Note: This process will remove the list of files that you recently opened.
