Windows 10: Properties in Explorer damaged?

Explorer will not show Properties for Folders, only for Files (Windows 10 1803). Has done earlier but not anymore. Shows the Desktop instead. What´s wrong?

Microsoft Properties

Hi Greg,

I followed your Task Manager steps and restarted the computer but the issue was still there.

Then I went to the first link you suggested and saw the options available. I elected to go to Microsoft Support to see if they had any File Explorer options available and they did. I downloaded the Mighty File Explorer. Using it, I checked the Properties
of the external drive in question and it was able to see and list the size of the folder correctly! Thank you for your time. This solves the issue.

If you see a need for me to explore the other recommendations that you gave, let me know.

Thanks again!

 

Properties window pops up behind Explorer

Hi,

In order for us to further isolate the issue, we want to know if it only happen when you right click on a drive, file, or anything else then choose Properties?

We suggest that you check the latest or pending updates on your computer and make sure to install them. Here are the steps:

• Search for Check for updates and press Enter.
• Click Check for updates and install pending updates (if there's one).
• Select the Start button and then Settings option.
• Under Update and Security, click on Windows Updates.
• Check the box for Windows update, which says Check online for Updates from Microsoft Update.

You can also reset the Windows Explorer on your computer:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc button on your keyboard and locate
  Windows Explorer.
• Right click on Windows Explorer and click End task.
• On top of the Task Manager, click File and then select
  Run new task.
• Type explorer.exe inside the box and press Enter.

Update us with the result.
