    Had exactly this.

    Selected [This PC], went to [Options].

    1. Disabled "Expand to Open Folder"
    2. Click "Apply"
    3. Clicked "Reset Folders"
    4. Enabled "Expand to Open Folder"
    5. Click "Apply"

    Then it started working. Hope this helps.

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