How to Open a File You Saved on Windows 11

What you need: A Windows 11 computer, the name of a file you saved, and the name of the folder you saved it in, such as the document from How to Save a Document in the Documents Folder on Windows 11. If you do not remember the folder, first use How to Search for a File by Name on Windows 11.

1. Click Start (the Windows logo) on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
2. Type File Explorer, then click File Explorer in the search results to open it.
3. Click the folder containing your file, such as Documents, on the left. To open a folder inside it, double-click that folder by clicking twice quickly. Continue until you see your file.
4. Look through the names for your file. Windows may hide the ending of a name, such as .txt. Scroll down to see more files.
5. Double-click the file by clicking its name twice quickly. Wait a few seconds for it to open.

Expected result: The file opens in its own window, and its name appears at the top of that window.
