I am learning the basics of Django on a Windows 10 system. The video tutorials I am working through use Visual Studio as the development environment – I’m sure they are many other equally capable IDEs. I am currently just working through exercises that will run the code on a server on the Windows 10 machine. I installed VS 2019 Community edition on my Windows 10 machine about a year ago for other study. I have probably adjusted some settings which were needed at the time. Now, the tutorials I am following, when the tutor drags into VS a directory containing various Django-related files such as Python scripts, the “Explorer” windows shows the directory and sub-directory hierarchy as if I was looking at the directory through Windows Explorer or other file manager. Now on my VS2019 I cannot see the Explorer window. I can open the files, but I don’t know which directories they are in which makes the video tutorials difficult to follow. How can I reinstate the VS Explorer window? I have searched for an answer but I am probably not phrasing the question correctly.

Thanks,

Clive

I performed a "repair installation" of VS 2019, to remove all my forgotten customizations of VS. Then after repair completed the Solution Explorer, as suggested by Señor CMasMas, worked fine to show all the folders and hierarchies for my application.
