    Duplicate Documents Folders in Navigation Pane


    Hello everyone, Im having trouble with restoring Documents and Downloads folders in this pc. Initially i tried to change default folder locations ssd to hdd but it was a mess so I wanted to restore it back. Now im confused because whenever i try to "restore to default" at the properties location tab in either Documents of Downloads, it always ends up doing the same thing to the other, which result to duplicate. Need your help. Thank you!

    Multiple Documents folders shown in Navigation Pane

    When a File Explorer window is first opened, the Navigation Pane lists everything correctly.

    However, every minute (approx.) that the window is open an additional Documents folder is listed i.e. after about 10 minutes 10 Documents folders will be shown. All appear identical and all point to the same folder on disk.

    How can I stop this duplication?

    Thanks

    Keith

    I'd been using the 'show all folders' workaround, but switched back to the normal navigation pane view after the anniversary update and haven't seen the folder duplication issue since.
