It does sound a lot like the window is minimized. you can try arrowing down
at the message that pops up and see if there is a maximize option, or you
can use the Windows + Space Bar, folowed by the letter X key stroke to do
this as well. If this is the problem, to fix it permanently, right click on
the desktop icon for File Explorer, and then Properties. Under the General
tab, there will be a set of options called Run, and you should arrow down to
maximized, then tab down to apply, then around again to OK.

Have you also maximized your window?

Just Tried that control f1 and no go. This might end up being one for FS to
solve.

I think it is control + F1, not F2, that expands or collapses the ribbons;
you want them expanded. Control F1 toggles the ribbons on and off.

Hi All,
Using JAWS 16 Windows 8.1. When I press the alt key to access the ribbons,
all I see is something that says "show hidden items". Pressing enter or the
spacebar does absolutely nothing. How do I get my ribbons back? I've also
tried Control F2 with no luck.
