I have a document library on SharePoint Online. This library has more than 5000 documents. It was showing in the classic view before but due to some requirement I had to change the setting to modern view. What I found was that most of the filtered views got changed to the modern view but the All Documents view doesn't change to the modern experience. All Documents view has folders and documents in it. It shows perfectly in classic but not in modern. There is no error as such just that I can't load the modern experience.

Please help.

    Please check the following points to troubleshoot this issue:

    1.Click Library Settings >> Advanced Settings >> in the List experience, select New experience option

    2.Have you use some features that can only be applied in Classic experience?
    For example: create External data column, use multiple web parts on List view page.
    For more restrictions, please refer to the article Differences between modern and classic experiences for lists and libraries

    3.Check "All documents " view of other Document Libraries can support switch SharePoint mode.

    Thanks
