I'm stumped on this one...
Recently my Windows 10 install has started opening all Windows Explorer shortcuts/links straight to "This PC" (or Quick Access depending on this setting). The will not open to the address specified. e.g. - If there's a folder shortcut to the Downloads folder, double clicking it opens This PC.

How do I get them working correctly again?

  • Does it work if you type the folder path in Run dialog? My guess is the folder association settings are broken somehow. Try "folder" and "directory" association reg fixes from here – w32sh Jun 14 '16 at 10:29
  • Tried them... didn't work. Interestingly, if the shortcut is a Quick Access folder then that folder is highlighted under the Folders section of This PC. Weird. – GollyJer Jun 14 '16 at 18:33
  • Not sure if I understand your latest note on Quick access. Is there a screenshot you can post? – w32sh Jun 15 '16 at 01:31
  • So I think this was an issue with Windows 10 preview edition. It updated yesterday to a new release and Explorer started working as expected again. Thanks for the help w32sh. – GollyJer Jun 17 '16 at 17:48
  • Nice! Glad it's now fixed. – w32sh Jun 17 '16 at 17:50
