Hello, so I work on an ASP.NET website that only runs in Internet Explorer 7, or Edge in IE compatibility mode. Always have used F12 devtools (IEChooser.exe) to debug any javascript errors. However, I'm not sure why all of a sudden inside the debugger tab, now it only shows the Watches , the left menu with the file tree is gone, so is the small folder icon to search by file name, and the tabs of the files are missing, and I am not sure how to get them back. So far have tried restarting, opening the SYSWow64 version instead of the system32 one , opened it using administrator privileges , and nothing, here's how it looks:O9ZN16SiDW

Any help on how to restore the window layout is very much appreciated, thanks!

    Got it solved:

    The window limit between the files and watches was right next to the window bound (on the left side), so I grabbed and pulled it back to regular size:
