Was working in my Windows 11 VM this evening and noticed that none of my File Explorer windows have any "navigation aids" (i.e. File, Edit, View, back arrow, forward arrow, etc). Have any of you seen this or know how I should remedy this?

It's blank where all of those things should be.

But Microsoft wants a clean simple interface that is unusable by its customers?

It is clean. I'll give it that. No words or buttons to dirty up the window.

I have a Windows 11 PC, that will be getting this done to it soon enough!

If they want the "young whipper-snappers" to have a clean interface, maybe they could label the "File Edit View" menu with Cursive writing so they will ignore it as some kind of hieroglyphics.
