Then it's probably not the combo view.

More info would help, e.g. a screenshot and you should attach your full FreeCAD info as described in the IMPORTANT forum rules linked above.

In Preferences->General->General there is an popup where you ca choose where you want the tree view to show up.
It is labeled "Tree view mode:"
You may need to restart FreeCAD or hide/show the Combo view to reflect changes.

This exactly is how it looks like when Preferences->General->General->Tree view mode is set to "Treeview and PropertyView". Did you check this? I use this setting so that I don't have double tree views and can have the treeview visible all the time.

Yes, It did not mater which way i had it [Combo View], [Treeview and PropertyView] or [Both]. I had upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11 pro. With it installed on the machine. I pull the newest build back off and and remove all directories FreeCad uses in the hidden directory [User][AppData] and reinstalled [Build 28857] it was working again. It could have been a file that got corrupted during the Windows upgrade. I like trying to keep up with the latest build that is made to see what is new and working. I am back on the [Build 28871} now. Sorry to have bother you with this. I should have deleted the hidden directories first. They are in [C:\User\Bob\AppData\Roaming\FreeCad] and [C:\User\Bob\AppData\Local\FreeCad]

You need to restart FreeCAD to see the changes, I'm guessing this was the issue but got reset to Combo View option when you deleted everything and reinstalled.
