Have you checked the small icons up top on the right hand side of VS? One of them is show all files. You might need to click it to see all your files.

It also depends upon whether you are attached to a repo or not, whether a solution is open or you are in Folder View, etc. Please provide repro steps for this along with screenshots if possible.

The solution is on this folder: C:\Users\ZGOSPBA\source\repos\
The source files are on the desktop
This was OK until last week. -

Also, the folder which does not show all files is cut off alphabetically. It only shows file names beginning with A through C -

Yes, In Solution Explorer I see the root Solution node and then a project node.
I the root solution node, I now see [Show All Files] and it has been checked
If I Right click the project node and use 'Open Folder in File Explorer', it shows all source files in that folder.
