Is there a limit to the number of sub-folders File Explorer will display

When I display the folders under the Documents folder that look like this

<image...(highlighted)>

The sub-folder named PRIORITY TASKS isn't shown. Does File Explorer impose a limit on the number of sub-folder that it will display?

TIA for your suggestions.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William, I’m an Independent Advisor. I'll be happy to help you out today.

The limit is not specifically a limit to the number of folders that can be nested inside another folder, but a limit on the number of characters in a combined folder and/or file path, which is stated as 260. However, that does not appear to be the case for you. Have you checked that the folder is not hidden or marked with the operation system attribute?

I'm not sure what you're asking.
