Ok... now we're cooking.

For some reason the right side (or some part) of File Explorer is broken.
Have you tried rebooting since you noticed this problem?
Are you running any 3rd party tweak programs, like Explorer Patcher?


You might also want to download and run CrystalDiskInfo (free)




What we're looking for is a result like this...

Might want to undo those particular tweaks temporarily.
There are one or two Winaero tweaks I've noticed in the past, that have had adverse effects on Windows 11.
I don't know of any that would cause what we're seeing here... but I have seen "some" issues.


Might want to check the ones in the Windows 11 section (near the top), and those in the File Explorer section about 1/2 way down.


As an example... in the Desktop and Taskbar section I had "Disable Action Center" checkmarked.
It killed the Taskbar Calendar in Windows 11. LOL
There was one in the Win 11 section I had check marked... it killed the START button.
I don't remember which one that was.





The easy way to find out if it anything in Winaero, is to just export all your Winaero settings,
then uninstall Winaero, and reboot.
File > Export Tweaks

If that "doesn't" solve the issue, you can just reinstall Winaero and Import your tweaks.
If it "does" solve the File Explorer problem... then reinstall Winaero, don't import your tweaks...
and go a LOT slower with those check boxes.



Side Note:

Here are some NON-Winaero tweaks, that seem to work without issues...





/edit For those that came late... posts 1, 5, 21 and 22 will bring you up to date.
