I want drive letters in the navigation pane

First shot of thread titled: I want drive letters in navigation pane.
I later determined cause to be missing ThisPC; thread participants and I are active on that point.

It doesn't show the full This PC window to see if anything may stand out.

That exactly IS THE problem.

I'm talking about showing the full This PC in a screenshot like below instead of only a portion of it.

You keep asking for what I keep telling you is nonexistent. I show exactly what there is, and you want what there isn't.

It doesn't matter what's in your This PC window, but it is important to show the whole thing.

Compare your incomplete image below to mine above.

thename,

Do you truly believe that you are making an effort to be part of the solution???

Nonexistent.


False. It's complete. The text "This folder is emptry" is not an annotation; it is in Explorer.
Do you need to see bigger blank space? Seriously?

You might want to try opening a command prompt as admin and running this command...

sfc /scannow


If that can't fix your Explorer issues... then you might try this command...

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth




If neither of those help with your issue, then I suggest you try an In-Place Upgrade, which will repair Windows, but keep your programs and files intact.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade




Once Windows is repaired... you should be able to set up Explorer to look like this... if desired...
This is my comp, with three drives that each have multiple partitions.











Ofc I removed all the other things in the left pane (my preference) which you don't have to remove.
