Explorer opens a new window every time I double-click a folder
Hello Tenforums!
First I'd like you to thank you for all the times you've helped a frusterated little guy with his PC-problems - even thought I never registrered, I've been here quite some times.
The problem
Anyways, on to the problem. As the title states; every time I double-click a folder in Windows Explorer, it opens in a new window. I know there have been problems on this in earlier versions of Windows. I'm running Windows 10, but I've yet to found a solution to this problem.
What is weird about this, is the following. The ONLY time a folder opens in a new window, is when the folder is located in the PICTURES folder. On some occurrences, the folder I'm clicking is opening twice.
Another strange thing I noticed, is when I delete something. When I used to delete something, the folder would automatically update and remove the file without me needing to do anything. Now, I have to refresh the folder I'm in to actually be able to see the picture I deleted gone.
Here's what I've tried:
- Making sure the registry key of HKCR\Folder is empty.
- Running the sfc /scannow command in an elevated command prompt
- Checking the Explorer options for opening a folder in the same window or a different one on and off.
- Checking the double-click and single-click options on and off.
- Making sure I do not have this "Vault" program that everyone is talking about... SourceGear Vault?
- Refreshing the Windows Explorer process in Task Manager.
Explaning the .GIF I linked (if you didn't understand it)
- I'm double-clicking a folder within the PICTURES folder.
- Two windows open of the folder I clicked. There are now currently 3 windows open
- I close the two windows, and redirect into the MUSIC folder.
- I double-click a folder in MUSIC and the folder opens in the same window.
