Music Folder in Navigation Pane Shows No Content
I moved the default location of the Music folder to F:\Music. Now in File Explorer, when I click on the Music folder in the Navigation pane, there is no change in the view of the Detail pane. The Properties dialog of the Music folder is blank in all fields. The Music Library does show that folder's content. The Start menu link to Music also works. So does shell:My Music. I've checked all the registry keys that hold the Music shell folder values and they all have the correct F:\Music value. I also ran SFC. I'm running Windows version 23H2.

1. Check the folder path:
Open the actual path to the “Music” folder (usually C:\Users\<username>\Music).
Make sure there are files or subfolders in the folder.
2. Reset the folder view:
Open File Explorer and navigate to the Music folder.
Click View > Options > Change folder and search options.
In the View tab, click Reset Folders.
3. Rebuild the index:
Open Settings > Search > Search Windows.
Click on Advanced Search Indexer Settings.
In “Indexing Options”, click “Advanced” > “Rebuild”.
Wait for the index rebuild to complete and check if the Music folder shows its contents.
4. Check the library configuration:
Right-click on the “Music” folder and select “Include in Library” > “Music”.
Open File Explorer, navigate to “This PC” > “Music” and check if the contents are displayed.
5. Create a new user profile:
If the problem persists, the user profile may be corrupt.
Create a new user account and check if the “Music” folder is displayed properly.
6. Check for Windows Insider version issues:
If the problem occurs in the Windows Insider Preview, it may be a version bug.
Submit the issue in the Feedback Center and wait for Microsoft to fix it.
