"This PC" only showing 3D Objects

Hi, After i've upgraded to windows 11, "This PC" in file explorer doesn't show downloads, documents, etc. only 3D objects. I've tried adding them back using this tutorial Add or Remove Folders under This PC in File Explorer in Windows 11 Tutorial
However, when I remove all the folders and then add them back, it only adds back 3D objects.


My guess for why its doing this may be because I used a program called winaero to add a custom folder to This PC in windows 10, and when upgrading it messed up my file explorer. Not sure.

Hello @ayyshady and welcome to ElevenForum.



In Winaero, under FILE, you can "Export" your tweaks.
Then under Actions, you can "Reset all tweaks", and see if that was the problem.

still doesn't work :/

Sorry you've already done that

Try removing only 3D objects first

And check by creating Test user (new one) to see if this is user dependent

Here are tutorials to show User folders in this PC (reg files are great)

Yeah, it seems to be a user specific issue

If it's a user account issue, you can not move files from one account to another. In the old account COPY all your files to external media. Copying is the only way to prevent permission issues on the files. Then log out of old account and log into new account. COPY files from external media into your new user account folders.

Make sure the new user account is an administrator account.
