  2. Cannot open a folder within another folder

    Hi Keedy,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your inconvenience. We will assist you with it.

    I suggest you to login to your Microsoft account or any other account on your computer and check if you are able to access the folders within the folder.

    If the issue still persist, I suggest you to boot your computer in Clean Boot environment and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Clean boot

    A Clean boot is troubleshooting option for Windows in which all the third party services are disabled and checked, if this services are causing the problem.

    Follow the Microsoft help article to perform clean boot.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

    Note: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with Clean Boot of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after
    fixing the issue.

    Note: The steps for Windows 8/8.1 applies to Windows 10.

    Hope it helps. Do let us know if your issue is resolved. For any further query, feel free to contact us.

    Thank you.

    Cannot open a folder within another folder

    Hello,

    Recently I upgdaded to Windows 10 Pro. After I did that I noticed that whenever I tried to open a folder within another one the File Explorer stops to respond and after 30 seconds it returns me to my Desktop. I tried every solution from this article Not responding when opening folders windows 10
    but the problem continues to exist. I hope that you can really help me because I can't access a large amount of my files.

    Thanks!

    cannot open a system's folder

    It is a protected folder - you need to change permissions should you wish to access it, or do so from a boot disk e.g.

    A quick search will tell you more - many topics on this on the net.

    You can uninstall Candy crush- accessing the folder is not the correct way to do this.

    To add to Dalchina's excellent advice, let me observe that there's a tutorial that explains exactly how to uninstall apps like Candy Crush in Windows 10: Apps - Uninstall in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums. That should show and tell you exactly what to do to make it "go away."
