    Explorer cant find User Shell Folders all of the sudden


    I have a brand new SSD that I transferred all of the Shell Folders to, which was working fine for the last two or so weeks. Today I booted my PC and the SSD was shown at 100% in the Task Manager. When I tried accessing it via the explorer, everything crashed and I had to force it to shut down. I changed the SATA cable that the SSD is connected with since that was a problem I had before with an old HDD, touched nothing else. Suddenly, the Explorer is claiming it can't access Downloads, Videos, and Music, even though I was accessing and using the Downloads folder without issue just earlier today

    :)
