  2. I am getting the same message on two different phones.

    Both are in in the marketplace and saying "Cannot get information. Please try again later." One has been able to download before today and the other has never been able to.

    Why am I getting two of the same folders when I open File Explorer?

    If you want to post pics , use the Windows Snipping Tool in Accessories and just paste the pic into the reply window , you don't even need to save it. (Opening stranger's files on One's PC is a security hazard eg from Word Macros)

    If you are talking about a USB drive showing twice that is normal Win 10 , but it can be stopped with a Tutorial in the Tutorial Section on how to remove Drives from the Explorer Pane but needs reapplying after Each major Win10 Update , so get the .reg file and just use it each time.
