There is how it looks in Explorer:

Does it appear if you make sure that wsl is running before opening Files?
Does it work if you manually insert wsl path in Files's address bar?

@vabka I had this issue after updating from Windows 10 but reinstalling Windows 11 fixed it.

I will try it tomorrow

On my main PC everything OK.

[vabka]

Tryed to open by path

[vabka]

And again when pasting path to address bar

[vabka]

At same time Explorer can open it.

@vabka did you originally setup this instance of WSL on Windows 10?

[vabka]

@yaichenbaum Not sure.
On pc where it was setuped while on Windows 10. It visible.

same error exists for me. All other sidebar toggles functions but switching ON/OFF wsl brings up nothing on side panel.

@JishnuJayaraj @vabka is this an issue for you in a fresh install of Windows 11?
