Det er lykkedes mig ved at taste lidt frem og tilbage og som det fremgår at screen print, ER STIFINDER DUKKET OP og det gælder alle mine mapper. Jeg har på et eller andet tidspunkt "kommet til at skjule Navigationsruden.
Nu er det på plads både,Skærmbillede 2026-11-04 223225.png med stifinder og visning af D-drev med Samsung T7.
TAK for hjælpen.

Det er ikke lykkedes nu har jeg prøve 3-4 gange og intet lykkedes!
Jeg forsøgte at vedlægger 2 word sider (VIRKER IKKE), der viser min rækkefølge, som jeg har forsøgt, men uden at få adgang til STIFINDER og alle mine mapper, med billeder, dokumenter, skivebord og private mapper, eller D-DREV i venstre side, når jeg er inde i en mappe - det eksisterer heller ikke i venstre side i One Drive.
Konstruktiv løsning "for Dummies" ønskes.

Could you please press Windows + E and confirm whether File Explorer opens? If nothing happens, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, locate Windows Explorer under Processes, right-click it, and select Restart, if available. This restarts the Windows desktop interface without restarting the computer. Also, could you clarify whether the File Explorer icon has simply disappeared from your taskbar or whether the application no longer opens at all?
Regarding your Samsung T7, please connect it to your computer and press Windows + X > Disk Management. Check whether the external SSD appears in the disk list, even if it is missing from File Explorer. If the drive appears with a healthy partition but without a drive letter, Windows may simply have lost its previous drive-letter assignment.
Please do not initialize, format, delete partitions, or make other changes to the SSD, especially if it contains important files. If it does not appear in Disk Management, try a different USB port and check whether Windows detects the device in Device Manager. Since the problem started after a Windows update, please also check Settings > Windows Update > Update history and share the date and KB number of the most recent update.
Thanks for your feedback. The idea was to collect more information about the situation. If you have already tried those steps, could you please let me know the results?
From what I can see, File Explorer is working, and Windows recognizes your Samsung T7 SSD as drive D:. The main issue appears to be that the navigation pane on the left side of File Explorer is hidden. Let's try restoring it: Open This PC, click View at the top of the window, then select Show > Navigation pane and make sure it is enabled. This should restore the left panel where your folders and drives normally appear. Also, try double-clicking SAMSUNG T7 (D:) in This PC to check whether you can access your files. Please note that Windows 11 normally displays folders such as Desktop, Documents, Pictures, and Downloads under Home/Quick access, and your external drive would not normally appear inside OneDrive.
If the navigation pane still does not appear, could you please share two specific screenshots? First, open File Explorer, click View > Show, and take a screenshot with that menu expanded so I can see whether Navigation pane is checked. Second, double-click SAMSUNG T7 (D:) in This PC and take a screenshot showing what happens, including any error message or the contents of the drive if it opens successfully. Please make sure the screenshots include the entire File Explorer window, but hide any personal or sensitive information. These two screenshots will help determine whether this is simply a navigation pane setting or whether there is a separate issue accessing your external drive.
You're very welcome. I'm glad to hear that you managed to restore the navigation pane and that File Explorer, your folders, and your Samsung T7 drive are now visible again. Thank you for confirming what caused the issue.
Since everything is working correctly now, no further troubleshooting is necessary. If my previous answer helped you resolve the problem, please consider marking it as this may help other users experiencing the same issue. Have a great day!
