    Folders inside Downloads folder open in new window


    It only happens when I open the Downloads folder from Quick Access and This PC.

    I've already checked the Folder Option. Launch folder windows in separate process and Open each folder in its own windows both are unchecked

  2. On File Explorer folders inside desktop open in new window

    Hello,

    On File Explorer all folders inside Desktop folder (and only on Desktop folder) open in new Window. The option "Open each folder in the same window" is checked.

    Thank you.

    Error code 0x80070032

    If that is the case, your original account is possibly corrupted. We highly recommend creating a new administrator account, and then transfer your files from your original account to the new one. To know how you can create a new administrator user, follow
    the steps here. After creating a new account, follow the steps below on how
    you can transfer you files to the new account:

    • Access File Explorer.
    • On the left pane, choose This PC.
    • Double-click Local Disk (CFolders inside Downloads folder open in new window :).
    • Open the Users folder.
    • Open the folder of your original account.
    • Access one of the folders and copy the files inside it. (Example: Open the
      Documents
      folder and copy the files insider that folder)
    • Go back to the Users folder, and then access the folder of the new account.
    • Access the same folder that you've opened when you accessed the folder of your original account and paste the files there. (In the example, you've accessed the Documents folder of your original account and copied all of its files. You must also open the
      Documents folder of the new account and paste the files inside that folder.
    • Repeat steps 4-8 until you've transferred all of your files to the new account.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Run sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt. You may have some bad system files

    Is this Windows 10 version 1511 10586? I'm running the RTM 10240 and not experiencing this issue.

    Odd issue for sure. Curious to want to upgrade back to 10586, or install a VM to see if it duplicates the issue

    yeah. it's the latest one. It happened a week ago. I was moving some files from Downloads folder to Music folder. After it finished the explorer restarted itself and when I try to open any folder inside the Downloads folder it open in new window. It happen only when I open Downloads folder from This PC or Quick Access but if I open it from C drive (C:\Users\Username\Downloads) the folder inside it open in the same window

    Sounds like a small Windows 10 bug.

    I just tried it again on my computer with version 10240, and the issue still don't replicate. Hmmmm that is very weird

    I "fixed" this weird bug yesterday by re-install the OS. So for now the only way to fix this thing is by re-install the OS. If someone found another way to fix this, please share.
