Windows 10: Manage won't open in File Explorer

Since windows update, Manage won't open at the top of the page in File Explorer. What have they done? This is an useful application.

File Explorer opens but does not function

I have all the current Windows 10 Home 64-bit updates. File Explorer opens with its main screen but no files are listed in the main file listing window. Instead the message 'working on it' appears t the top of the Window and the spinning blue disc spins
away. None of the third party File managers are affected. File Explorer has become a waste of disc space. Any ideas?
