    This PC icon won't open


    Brand new Dell Inspiron 17 3793 with Windows 10 Home Build 19042. I have set up my User account and transferred all my files from the old laptop. Suddenly, I cannot get This PC icon on the home screen to open. It flashes an empty This PC screen for just a second, then goes back to the home screen. All other icons work, including Windows Explorer, Recycle, etc.. I can enter C: in the search bar on the home screen to see what is on the C drive, or D: to see what is on the external drive, but I don't understand why This PC is not working. I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything directly related to this issue...so any help is appreciated.

    :)
