I have been using the launcher for a long time now and I have been enjoying it. I even joined the beta. Today I updated to 6.2 and I'm havung a weird issue. Applications are not opening from a folder....

    I haven't tried to create new folders but after a phone restart the problem is still there. It appears that it jumbles around which apps have the issue and which ones don't. I had trouble opening Facebook last night from a folder but it seems today that it opens up just fine, however there are still applications that show this behavior still. 

     

    I also backed up the Microsoft Launcher, reset it to defaults, then I restored the back up. 

    I am typing this as I am doing it. It seems that apps are now opening from within the default folders that the laucher has set up. I say defaults because I have work things on my phone so, I get the Microsoft folder and the Work folder. 

     

    I am restoring the back up.

     

    It now works.

     

    Looks all we need to do is back up the launcher to save your current layout (if you would like to keep it that is), then reset the launcher by going to Launcher Settings>Advanced Settings>Reset, then (if you've backed it up) restore your back up. 

     

    Thanks guys!
