Windows 10: C-Drive properties brought up Windows info dialog twice, then stopped?

Hey folks...

This is for Windows 10 Pro x64 / 20H2

SoI right-clicked my C drive from Explorer to bring up the context menu, and clicked "Properties", as I wanted to remove old temp files.

For some strange reason, it didn't bring up the usual drive properties dialog, but instead the Windows info dialog (version of windows, links to system settings, etc).

That was weird, so I closed it and did it again, and it once again brought up the Windows info dialog.

I closed it once more, and did it again, and this third time, it brought up the usual drive properties dialog.

Now, I'm a bit tired, so I MIGHT have done something else the first two times, but I can't think of anything I would have clicked on that would have brought up the Windows info dialog. I can bring it up by bringing up the properties of "This PC", but in that context, it brings up the list of settings categories on the left panel, and the Windows info on the right side. When the dialog came up the first two times, it looked like the old Windows info dialog, without the settings panel on the left.

Has anyone seen this happen before? First time for me, and it was pretty bizarre, especially since the behavior wasn't consistent, and went away after two tries.

5) Perform the following steps for each item in the Content Type drop-down list:
