    Looks like explorer has crashed and not restarted.
    What happens if you relaunch it via the task manager?
    (Press CTRL+SHifT +ESC together, File, Run new task, type
    explorer
    )

    Or restart or log off/on (e.g. via CTRL + ALT + DEL).

    Then check your Reliability History for an explorer crash and see if you can learn anything.
    (just type
    reliability
    in Cortana's search bar and click on Reliability History and inspect the reports marked with an x).

    Another thing you can check is Event Viewer to see if there are any explorer related issues.

    Ok.. File explorer is now the formal name (isn't it confusing) for explorer.exe 'explorer', contrasted with Internet explorer.
