Windows 10: Windows not showing ribbon

I just purchased a new Surface Laptop Studio 2. After installing my subscription of 365, all programs work except Word. There is no ribbon. I have tried all of the help suggested to no avail. Attached is the screen shot.

Explorer ribbon icons not showing up.

Hi TanishSamarawickrema, Thanks for getting back to me. I understand your frustration.

Could you please try to show the ribbon file explorer just in case it was accidentally hidden?

Solution 1: Show ribbon file explorer

Open File Explorer and on your keyboard press the CTRL+F1 keys to toggle to expand, show - default the Ribbon.

Or

On your search bar type folder options > View tab.

in Advanced Settings check "Always Show Menus" > OK

Solution 2: Always Show Ribbon in File Explorer

Right-click or press and hold on an empty area of the Ribbon tab bar > Click on Minimize the Ribbon to uncheck it.

Solution 3: Perform a Clean Boot

A "clean boot" starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. This is similar to starting Windows in Safe Mode but provides you more control over which services and programs run at startup to help you isolate the cause of a problem.

Thank you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
