    Folder won't open on Windows 10 File Explorer


    In my Windows 10 File Explorer I couldn't open one of the folders Scanned Documents, if that matters. Clicking didn't raise an error or anything, but even right click 'open in a new window' got no response at all. I checked its permissions and properties. After researching here, I rebooted and then ran DISM and then SFC. They finished normally, reporting no errors but the folder still would not open. Nothing worked until I right clicked and pinned the folder to Quick Access. Any idea what was wrong or why Quick Access would solve it?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    File Explorer has not been opening for at least a month. I have followed Microsoft's given steps in Fix
    File Explorer if it won't open or start     multiple times with no success. Has anyone found a solution?

    Thanks, Matt
