I had been working on the PC for some time and Alt+Tab switched to an File Explorer instance open. I could not tell where the file was that is highlighted in the window. I went to 'Options > View > Adv Settings' and turned on Display the full path in the title bar. Sadly the path is way too long for it to give any accurate indication on where the file is located, File Properties is of no use either Why did the path cease to exist in the area highlighted?

    Hello,

    Select the file in File Explorer.

    Hold down the Shift key, right-click the file, and choose “Copy as path”. You can then paste this path into a text editor to view the full location.

    Meanwhile, type "winver" in search bar to check your system OS build. if the system has been update to the latest version.

    Check for update, if any update could be found, installing it firstly to check if the issue still insists.

    Best Regards,
