Windows 10: File Count does not appear in File Explorer

In every version of Windows I have had including most recently Windows 10 there has been a file count in the lower left corner of Explorer. It shows the total number of files in the folder. If I highlight some files, it shows both the total number of files and the number I have selected. That feature is currently missing in Windows 11. It does not matter if I am in full screen or in multiple windows.How do I get the file count to show up in File Explorer in Windows 11?Top screen shot is windows 10, Bottom screen shot is Windows 11.

I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

Word Count Column in File Explorer

I work primarily with RTF documents. I came across the option in Windows File Explorer to add a "Word Count" column to the File Explorer display. The "Word Count" does display but it gives no count for any of the documents listed in the File Explorer.
From top to bottom no word count is displayed for any file created in any of the word processors I use. To date my search on the internet has not found a solution to the lack of word counts.

 

I have added the file count column to my folder in File Explorer. However, the actual file count is not displaying.

• Using File Explorer, I navigated to the folder I wanted to view the file counts, I right clicked on the column labels and chose File Count.

• This is occurring on any folder when I try to use the File Count column

• I currently use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes

• I also tried changing the View to Detail Pane, that did not make any difference.
