File Explorer ribbon and address bar disappeared?
My Windows File Explorer interface is abnormal. The top function bar has completely disappeared, the address bar is invisible, and the title bar is blank.

Restart Windows Explorer. This is the easiest and fastest potential fix. It restarts the process that draws the entire Windows shell, including the taskbar and File Explorer.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Find Windows Explorer in the list of processes.
- Right-click on it and select Restart.
See if File Explorer returns to normal. If not, proceed.
