    Documents folder opens in background from START menu


    A weird issue started on my Windows 10 21H2. My START menu will not close automatically when I click my Documents, Downloads, and other folder shortcuts. These folders open in the background, behind other open windows, while the START menu remains open. This started happening a few hours ago. I'm wondering if I accidentally hit some key combination on my keyboard to cause this.All my other shortcuts on my START menu open normally to the foreground and the START menu automatically closes when the icon is clicked. Even the File Explorer icon behaves normally. It's just my Documents, Downloads, M

    Hi Michel,

    The error that you encounter seems to be caused by a background process that's not working correctly. To isolate your concern, we'd like to know the following:

    • Are you getting the error when searching for the shortcut or when opening the sub folder on the Start Menu?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you've tried to resolve your concern?
