Re-enable the Current Folder Window:

• Open MATLAB and go to the top menu bar.
• Click on the Home tab.
• In the Environment section, find and click on the Layout button.
• From the dropdown menu, ensure that the Current Folder option is checked. If it's unchecked, click on it to re-display the "Current Folder" window.

Use the Command Window:

Reset MATLAB Layout:

• If the window does not appear after trying the above methods, you can reset the layout to its default settings.
• Go back to the Home tab.
• Click on Layout in the Environment section.
• Select "Default" from the dropdown menu to restore the original layout, which includes the "Current Folder" window.

Refer to the screenshot below for a visual guide on using the layout menu, or use the command line instruction as an alternative method.
