After a recent reinstall of Windows 11, I noticed File Explorer does not display all my drives (see the attached screenshot). I can see them by clicking on "This PC" but I'm old-fashioned and would just like them to be listed at the bottom, like before. Why is it so? Can I revert to the way it was before? In the meantime, I put "This PC" on my Start list.

Hello, :alien:

You'll only see all drives under the "This PC" group in the navigation pane. The others will only be removable drives.


You can have File Explorer open to "This PC" to help.
