So can it be a question of Windows updates? Do you manage them both or is one managed via your work?
I have the "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" active under [Windows Update]. My own desktop.
How to re-enable the "Expand to Open Folder" option?

I did the "Apply". Always do. I did it again anyway, with reboots etc etc, just in case. No luck. :-(

2023-11-15T10:48:04+00:00 Had exactly this.
Selected [This PC], went to [Options].
- Disabled "Expand to Open Folder"
- Clicked "Reset Folders"
- Enabled "Expand to Open Folder"
Then it started working. Hope this helps.
This did not work for me, but thanx for trying. Problem persists. :-(
