Windows 10: Windows 11 save Dialog box doesn't show the folder path & backward forward buttons

save/ open / import / export .... Dialog box windows doesn't show the folder path & backward forward buttons in Windows 11

Dialog Box Save/Open

When saving or opening a file you are promoted with a dialog box, beside the file name there is a text box and beside the text box there is down arrow that will list all your recent saved or open files with it's path, how do I not have them be saved
in the drop down list? I know how to disable the jump list in Windows 10 by turning of Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar by the toggle button so that it says Off. That doesn't clear the list that I want it to.

Example in photo (Yes I am aware that is Windows 8/8.1 but I have Windows 10):

 

Save-as Dialog Box not showing any thumbnails


Usually you can simply hide or show the folders from the link at bottom left in Save As dialog:









In your case though I am not sure if this is the case because although your folders are hidden, the dialog in your screenshot is showing the Hide folders link when it should show Show folders.

 

Open/Save Dialog not showing all folders/files

Hi Gary

In order to get a better idea of the problem, can you please provide a screenshot of a listing of those folders in Windows File Explorer and also in the Open/Save dialog, which shows folder that cannot be seen in that dialog . . .
