"Expand to current folder" doesn't work in File Explorer (Windows 11 versions 22H2, 23H2 and 24H2)
The "Expand to current folder" command in File Explorer in Windows 11 does not work for most Quick Access items in the navigation pane. Is Microsoft aware of this issue, and if so, when do we expect a fix this problem? The bug appears to be a widespread problem report by many users over the past year or so. The problem first occurred with Windows version 22H2, and still exists even with the latest update, Windows version 24H2. The recently monthly updates have not resolved this issue either. Although the February 2025 update is supposed to introduce important fixes to File Explorer, there is no mention on Microsoft's Update website about a fix to the "Expand to current folder" bug. I only recently purchased a new computer several months ago and right away I noticed the problem. The "Expand to current folder" command simply doesn't work anymore for any of the quick access items (i.e., Documents, Pictures, Music, etc., and one's user folders) in the left navigation pane. It only works if one clicks on Quick Access items that points to folders on the C:\ drive and other drives. The only recourse for the time being is to choose the option to "Show all folders", which works, but is rather awkward to use and has its own issues. Despite users' attempts to report the problem to Microsoft, it seems there has not yet been any acknowledgment from Microsoft about this bug and whether a fix is planned. If other users are experiencing this same issue, I can only suggest that users report this issue to Microsoft. It's rather unfortunate that the "Expand to current folder" doesn't work anymore like it did in Windows 10. It was very useful and saved a lot of time.dschmidFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor33Views0likes2CommentsOther System icons
I am having issue where i need to go to Taskbar Setting every few weeks. For some weird reason Windows 11 decides to turn off Discord on Icon off in Taskbar Settings -> Taskbar -> Other System tray Icons I dont like to have every icon on Taskbar always so I dont mind if I need to go to setting and turn it off once, but for some weird reason Discord keep getting Disabled every week or so.

This all started about (3) weeks ago, I did a windows update, and put my PC into sleep mode for the night. Next day, I use my mouse to come out of sleep mode, my case lights and fans all came to life, but my monitor stays blank, as in no video input coming from my system. I had to hard power off and cold boot. Couple of days went by, problem persist, and another windows update wanted a restart, my PC logged out of windows, but it would not restart, monitor stays blank, with no video signal. Cold booted, and attempted to do a normal restart from windows, but same blank screen. Disconnected from my Discrete graphics card, and connected my monitor to my motherboard's on-board graphics, same issues, windows won't load after coming out of sleep mode or do a normal restart. Friday, I got notification of windows update, updates were successful and my system actually restarted. After my desktop loaded, I did a normal restart, and now Win 11 restarts with no issues, but the problem persists where Win 11 will not load after coming out of sleep mode.Gunner1160Feb 13, 2025Copper Contributor45KViews4likes14CommentsSolved Windows 11 File Explorer not showing executable file extension (exe).
Windows 11 Pro 23H2 build 22631.3880 My File Explorer isn't showing executable file extensions; it lists a program's name minus the "exe" suffix, while the extensions of every other file type are displayed. I already have 'View->File name extensions' checked, and have confirmed that hide extensions for known file types is unchecked in Explorer Properties for all folders. I've run "sfc /SCANNOW" and Windows Defender without issue. Booting into Safe Mode made no difference, either.HolawayFeb 13, 2025Steel Contributor43Views0likes2CommentsWindows 11 Suddenly Started to Resize and Move my Open Windows Position
How to fix that? Even IDM that I always put in the right corner would be moved on the left side of the screen, never had that problem? It seems to appeared after upgrading to 24H2. It usually happens after monitor turns screen off after some time, but I think that I saw that happening even randomly.RasBarakaFeb 13, 2025Occasional Reader37Views0likes2CommentsHow do you fix missing dll files on Windows 11?
I recently encountered some problems on Windows 11. When I started a certain program, it always prompted that the DLL file was missing. I checked and found that many people have this problem. I would like to ask everyone, is there any simple way to fix missing dll files on Windows 11? I tried a few methods myself, but it was still not stable. First, I tried restarting the computer. Sometimes these simple operations can solve the problem, but this time it didn't seem to work. Then, I ran sfc /scannow from the command line, and it didn't seem to have any special effect. In short, there is no perfect solution yet. If you have experience or useful suggestions, please share them!StaceyAbramsFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor90Views0likes10Commentsdwm.exe ram usage in Windows 11 24H2
"Desktop windows manager" ram usage hovers around 350MB and touches 500 MB often. Is this normal behavior? I think I've noticed this after yesterdays update. My PC is not running Windows 11 (running windows 10 and dwm.exe hovers around 90 MB), can you please confirm what are ram usage for this process is like in your windows 11 system.VirginiaCavalierFeb 13, 2025Iron Contributor21Views0likes1CommentUnable to the stuff in this menu with my keyboard

Hi folks anybody had a go with W11 Enterprise yet -- I might have a go updating (or attemting to update) a W10 Enterprise LTSC version - not sure what the activation servers will do there -- I've found another old laptop to test this on so will try later. My current W10 Enterprise license is VL --from workplace so it in theory should activate.

Hi, Yesterday, My pc has not started to the windows. When I tried repeatedly, the Pc booted and automatic repairs screen was shown. Diagnosing Your Pc.. Attempting repairs and all of a sudden, I got the alert, that Startup repair cannot repair your pc message and asked me to try troubleshoot. I just selected ,continue and the PC booted to windows. I want to know, what went wrong and so, I tried to look at the log. I came across the tutorial that dealt with the matter in this forum. I Just selected the command prompt in the troubleshoot and then type notepad to execute notepad.exe. at x: drive. I went to the System assigned drive E: for my pc and browsed to the logfiles folder and selected the srt trail text log file. The log has words to the effect of root cause found and the cause turns out to be that my system OS booted successfully. I am clueless about what went wrong then. If the system has booted successfully, then why it prompted diagnosing the pc,., attempting repairs have been shown and then list the root cause as OS boot successfully is not known. If the issue is the OS booted successfully, It should have the startup repair done successfully, I could not find any other logs elsewhere.KevinRamirezFeb 13, 2025Iron Contributor44Views1like4Comments
