The file tab has disappeared from the ribbon

The file tab has disappeared from my document library for no apparent reason. However, the "Library" tab is still visible. This happens only in certain views within the library, but I do not want to delete them due to the url. How do I get the "File" tab to appear again and why is it disappearing?

@BrunoRafaeldeSiqueira-0235,

Please click on a file , then check if the "File" tab is displayed at the top.

Do you add other web parts on the view page?

Or make any custom settings in certain views?

Compare the differences between the normal view and some problematic views to find any clues that may cause the issue.

Even when I click on the file the tab is not displayed. I also did not add any other webpart on the page or did any customization in the views. I removed all of the view settings in stages to see if at any point the tab would reappear, but that was not the case. It is as if the views are "corrupted" in a way

@BrunoRafaeldeSiqueira-0235,

Press F12 to check if the "Files" element is displayed in the view html file:

If "Files" does not exist, please open the site in SharePoint designer> All files> find the library>Forms>select the view page(such as AllItems.aspx)> to check if the page has related css code to hide the "Files" tab> if true, remove the code:

 <style type="text/css">  
     .ms-cui-tt.ms-cui-ct-first{  
         display: none !important;  
     }  
 </style>  

If you could see the "Files" tab in html file, however it does not appear, please clear the browser cache or switch to other browsers, then compare the results.

I searched the css files for the properties you mentioned, but I didn't find anything that was hiding the tab. I'll look a little more to be sure, but it's probably not the cause.

@BrunoRafaeldeSiqueira-0235,

Please create a new view to check if the "Files" tab is displayed properly.
