    Left column in the explorer is hidden


    Hello fellow Redditors!

    As the title says, the left column is hidden, but only when I open it via another program like photoshop. Here's how it looks

    I had a program installed, which changes the Windows theme, I uninstalled it, but nothing changed.



    Edit: This hasn't been like it is now for long. I think since I once changed the theme. But it's still here. Is there anyway to reset this?
