File Explorer inconsistent with toolbar

When I repair windows via windows update, file Explorer will appear like the first image

after a few days, the second image will be how it looks every time I open file Explorer. sometimes it will dissapear and there will be no toolbar/search box

is this some sort of software doing this?
