Local Files will not display

My local files will not display in the files panel in Dreamweaver.  The files are on the hard drive and have not moved from where they always have been.  Manage Sites is pointing to the correct file location. Thank you.

    If you can't restore preferences, I suspect you don't have administrative privileges.

    Right-click on Dreamweaver 2021 icon from your Win Start Menu.

    Select More > Run as Administrator.

     


    Thank you again.  I just found the problem.  Files were hidden.  See screenshot.  As soon as I checked "Show Hidden Files" the local files re-appeared.  I appreciate all of your help.

    Perhaps you received an automatic update?  You can disable those from CC Desktop App Preferences.

    Go to Site > New Site and define your local site folder again.

    Thank you for your response. I followed your instructions and still cannot
    see my local files in Dreamweaver. I am unable to update my website. Any
    help you can give me would be appreciated.

    Expand the files panel.  Then show a screen shot here so that we can see what you are seeing.
