Windows 10: Win 10 "File Explorer" can only open One copy

I have a new clean install of Win 10 but it only allows me to open one copy of File Explorer. My understanding is that you can open as many File Explorer as I like.
I choose Start and File explorer and after the first open file nothing happens.
BUT
Just found out that if I click on FIle and Open new window in an open File Explorer it works. Has Win 10 made a change?

Thanks

Can only open one copy of the File Explorer

I can only have one copy of the File Explorer open at a time. When I have File Explorer opened, if I right click on the File Explorer icon on te Taskbar nothing happens.

On my other computers, also running Windows 10, the jump list appears and I can open another copy of the File Explorer.

Is there a setting somewhere to file this?

 

How to access documents from Start Menu in Windows 10

In win-7 the start menu gives access to "documents". Then win 7 list all files in all drives in the PC. How can I get the same in Win-10? The start button conducts to documents, but it only list documents in C. One can use File explorer, but then the search
for a document in a long one. Was not supposed to be Win-10 the easiest one?

 

After you open File Explorer, right click the icon in system tray and then click on File Explorer in that small window and it will open a new window. You can keep opening as many as you want. After you have a few open put the curser over the icon and it will show a thumbnail of all the open windows and you can click on the one you want to use.

If you place a This PC shortcut on your desktop, every time you open it, it will open a new window.

Wheel click or (Middle click) File Explorer on the Taskbar as many times as windows you want opened.
