    reset a missing ribbon in File Explorer


    Somehow, I've accidently removed the File Explorer ribbon above Clear Access. The small arrow does not now appear next to the FE icon at top right. How to fix without going through Registry?I was trying to find a way to widen the navigation Pane because it is suddenly too narrow to read.

    :)

    File explorer ribbon missing

    Right click above the Address bar and UNcheck minimize the ribbon? OR... are you looking for the File, Computer, View buttons?

    File explorer ribbon missing

    I am on windows 10 build 2004. For some reason, my explorer ribbon is just missing. I looked through a few old forum posts on here, but they suggest opening the drop down menu at the top, which is also somehow missing for me. Attached a screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

    File explorer ribbon missing

    That could explain it. I am on 2004 and can confirm that the ribbon is there and can be hidden or restored, same as it always could in 1909.

    I don't use any 3rd-party add-ons to modify File Explorer though....
