i don't know if this is the right forum or not but:
the problem is recent and random folders when double clicking them windows makes the sound that they were opened but they are not open.
if i right click and open in new window the new window auto closes
programs like xnview are able to open the folders and so is cmd.exe just not explorer
Hi log163 and Welcome.
My first ports of call if I was in your position would be:
Run sfc /scannow to check system file integrity.
Scan with my AV and an up to date Virus database of Malwarebytes' Free. in Safe Mode.
Restore to a point prior to this happening.
odd, i used xnview and told it to open a sub folder in one if these errant folders in explorer and explorer sort of froze for a second and refreshed and everything is fine now i don't know whats up...
ok so that was a temporary fix that only worked for the explorer windows that was "forced?" open and not on any subsequent windows. sfc /scannow said it found corrupt files and repaired them i'm restarting now
