    Hey everyone


    So i got a weird issue happening.


    When i open up a file folder and select to say open Document 1, instead document 2 opens, then i click Doc 1 again, and Doc 3 opens.


    This is not restricted to a singe file, it happens like all the time, sometime i have to open a document 3-4 times before i get the correct on to open.


    Now i did DISM, and SFC checks to ensure there was no corruption, but i havent been able to find a solution to this issue thus far.



    Currently using Windows 10 Pro latest update, Office 365 for Office programs


    Thanks,

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
