New files or folders do not show up in the attachment window for email and sometimes not in File Explorer

Hi. Since changing my laptop I have been unable to easily attach files to my emails. It seems that new files do not show up when the attachment window opens. This happens with Gmail using Chrome and Firefox, and also Thunderbird. This suggest to me that
there is a problem with Windows itself as it is not able to access the new files.

Nor are the files currently showing up in File Explorer!!!!! They never show up even after restarting the laptop.

These are Word documents and they do show in the Recent File list in Word and in the Recent Files window in File Explorer - just not in the folder I have saved them to. Also I created a new folder which does not show in File Explorer.

I have tried to follow the suggested fixes which seem to concentrate around showing hidden files - the hidden files box is not checked when I look at the properties.

Please help. I want to email some files right now and I can't work out how to do so.
