The file opens normally for me with the Timeline and Navigation Bar. Not sure what you mean "saved as an Archive File". The only thing I know you can Archive is a Project. Do you mean the file was saved as a Milestone?

Don't suppose you've toggled any of the view settings? May be even try resetting your layout, not this will also reset toolbars.

The timeline is visible within the file you attached. If you turn off Capture Design History and you save the file, your timeline for that file will be lost. Open in file, right click on the top of the Browser and turn your timeline on. Also in Preferences make sure Capture Design History is enabled.

You will not lose any files if you reinstall Fusion 360, they are stored in the Cloud under your Autodesk ID. I would take a look at the Fusion 360 Service Utility and first do the minimum option, Reset, then Repair and finally uninstall and reinstall if your do not get success along the way.

What happens when you toggle the maximise button? What you show in your picture is a window that's been sized and I wonder if it's too big for your screen. Have you used Fusion with a different monitor at some point and ended up with the bottom of the window off screen? PS. don't attach pictures, just paste them into your messages.

@Phil.E Have you seen anything like the picture in post #6? Would display scaling cause problems?
@n.dearden Are your graphics drivers up to date?

If I'm reading this correctly, Fusion was maximized and the bottom portion of the application frame was displayed below the windows task bar, making it appear that Fusion wasn't showing the timeline.
I don't know what might cause this, and it should be fixed by File > View > Reset to default layout.
@Phil.E It sounds like the task bar was set to auto hide but something was stopping it from hiding. I use auto hide and it works most of the time but occasionally another program is trying to display a warning or another dialog and trying to grab focus, this stops the taskbar from hiding. This can happen with any program, not isolated to Fusion.

Perhaps I was not clear. "reset to default layout" is expected to layout the UI elements correctly, without any workarounds or need to change your windows taskbar settings.
"Reset to default layout" puts all the dialog boxes and screen elements, such as the timeline, into "default" locations.
By mentioning it, I was hoping you would try this and let me know if it solves the problem.
