    Why will File Explorer not show on display but show on taskbar?


    I have File Explorer pinned to taskbar. When I open it, it doesn't show on the display although the taskbar shows that it's open.


    I tried cascading windows, show side by side, stack, by right clicking the taskbar. I tried maximizing from pinned icon. It still won't show.

    :)

    File Explorer in Win 10 taskbar not showing Recent folders

    logarajsivasamy, my "Show recently opened items..." (step 4) was already on. Although recent folders appear in Word, Excel etc in the taskbar, they don't appear in File Explorer.
