    Why does file explorer show different files depending on how/where I open it?


    I'm trying to open a file with Word but I can't find it.... however if I click see file location on the Word app I see it in the same place I'm looking for it

    Also once I save as'd a picture and I could only see it in the file explorer there, I never could find it in any other "version" of file explorer

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile Why does file explorer show different files depending on how/where I open it? :)

    File explorer will not open on windows 10

    In this case, it's possible that the File Explorer is set to open an incorrect/corrupted file location. To rule out folder path related issues, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Type Control Panel in the search box. From the search result, click
      Control Panel.
    • Select Small icons from the View by: drop-down list located on the top right side of the window.
    • Select File Explorer Options.
    • Under the General tab, select This
      PC
      from the Open File Explorer to: drop-down list.
    • Click OK.

    Once you're done, open File Explorer again and check if the issue persists.

    Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.
