Could somebody please help. I have just started using Windows 11 on a new computer.

Suddenly File Explorer has vanished and when I click on the icon on TaskBar a page opens showing my desktop and links such as Documents etc are not shown..

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage

    If you right click in the left hand windows pane and select 'show libraries' this will show your document, pictures, etc.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Elise

    You didn't say if you already tried restarting the PC. That's always the first thing to try.
