Windows explorer stop working correctly after the last updates

I update the win11 to all latest updates even the new 23h2 and after that the windows explorer and the right click at the windows explorer stop working correctly.


See the picture bellow to see how appear now the explorer without any toolbar.

 

  • not sure if it will help but try running SFC /scannow

    You can run the SFC /scannow command from any console, including the command prompt, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal. Open one of these as Admin and type or past that command and press enter, then wait for it to finish.

    And I believe, if it reports problems, run the following command:

    DISsM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    I agree with antspants. Try running the tools.
    If you have any thrid party app that alters the GUI, uninstall it. Also see if the problem exists in clean boot. If it doesn't happen in a clean boot, you have some software conflicting with Windows. Brink's procedure will help you weed out which one.

    If none of that helps, run a repair install.

    So the toolbar is totally empty, strange. I know you said this started after updating, but can I ask, are you using any 3rd party tweak apps or adjustments for Explorer?
