   Apparently the 'problem' has been around for quite awhile. My 6 year old   
    Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone does the same thing. The LOCAL Files app is shown   
    in settings as "installed" but is NOT in the App Drawer and I see no way to   
    put it there or to open it. However The "Google Files" app AND the Samsung   
    "My Files" app are in the drawer so guess the designers probably figured I   
    didn't need 3 Files apps.   
      
   Give your stuff a check and see what you find...
