Windows 10: missing file and changed search setting

C:\Users\Rein Ulesoo\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState\Downloads\add_gpedit_msc_by_jwils876 (1)


I cannot find the above location because "PC" in my search bar no longer brings up a list of files but brings up "PC Settings".


What and where did it change? Do I have a super virus that Malwarebytes and Defender cannot find?
