  1. Explorer.exe not working.


    I am using Windows 10 version 21H1. File Explorer will not open from explorer.exe and any of its shortcuts, but when I double-click on a folder on my desktop, file explorer opens this folder perfectly fine and then I can navigate my files from there. Here is the image that I get when I try opening explorer.exe from command prompt using the command "start explorer.exe" while in the C:/Windows directory.
