With a specific setup in Windows 10 you may end up with the Explorer window in focus appearing as if it has no border.
The border is actually not missing (you can see that on the coloured areas on the image above), but the Windows Explorer border colour changes to white when you set focus to it, and then it very often looks as if there was no border at all, since other windows (below) often tend to have a white background. White on white is not a good combination.
This happens if you have turned off all visual effects, including shadows (to get a faster and/or cleaner interface).
I consider this a design flaw. Setting focus to an Explorer window should never, or at least not by default, make the outer borders of that window disappear (turn white).
To get a visible border (as it was in older versions of windows), you can of turn on shadows effects, or if you want no "effects", even simpler: you can turn on accent colours for "Title bars and window borders", and select an accent colour. I selected "dark teal" in the screen-shot below.
If you make the second choice above, I say Windows looks better when you also turn on accent colour for "Start, task bar and action center" (the other checkbox).
I'm adding this information along with screen shots, to inform other Windows 10 users in a hopefully simple way, how the problem can be dealt with, while waiting for a better default behaviour when visual effects are turned off.
