Oh thank you! I've looked everywhere on the interweb and your suggestion is the only one that worked. Thanks very much for commenting! I had exactly the same problem. Before entering anything from command prompts changes in the registry please check - maybe you have changed display settings recently? I had changed the icon font from 9 to 12 and I had this effect.
It disappeared when I set it back to 9. Before anybody rolls back their Windows to a previous version - that's an insane option! This certainly solved the immediate problem for me, but it's definitely a BUG that needs to be fixed. Thanks to the people who made this suggestion. I thought some major damage had been done to my computer. It started when I connected my Win10 laptop to an older projector. My solution found on another forum was to open OneDrive settings even if it isn't running and navigate to the 'Account' tab.

I was unable to open Explorer from the Task Bar. I was able to open it if I clicked an existing folder shortcut on the desktop. Win 10 folders have worked just fine for months, now suddenly they just disappear. Which one of your autoupdates broke this and when are you going to send an update? But I had the same symptoms: sometimes, folders on my desktop would just stop opening.
I had to restart my PC to get them to work again. I ended the one taking up 5. Suddenly the folders I'd tried to open all began opening. So I had like 15 folders suddenly open.
But I closed them all, then tried 2x-clicking on a folder and it opened fine. Same problem After trying just about everything, including a full re-installation of windows 10, I just happened to look here when searching for a solution.
Tried changing text size I can now open all the folders on my desktop. Only trouble is that when I change back to x , the problem comes back. Very strange. Office Office Exchange Server.

Still can't open Downloads Windows 10? The third fix we suggest trying is much simpler than the others so far. After you download any file, Windows takes the liberty of filtering it into a category — music, photos, videos, etc.
Certain folders, like the Pictures folder, are automatically set to optimize files as photos. At the top of the window, locate and right-click on "Downloads", and select "Properties". Click on the "Customize" tab and under the "Optimize this folder for" option, click the drop-down menu and choose "General items". Check the box "Also apply this template to all subfolders", press the "Apply" button, and click "OK". It may take a few minutes for this change to be applied to the Downloads folder and all of its contents.
Afterwards, check if the folder is still inaccessible. This next fix will come as a surprise for most users. As a result, if even just one file has a corrupt thumbnail that doesn't load properly, you could be blocked from opening Downloads.
Go to the "View" tab and observe the "Advanced settings" section. If the setting hasn't already been turned on, enable "Always show icons, never thumbnails" by checking the box next to it. Click "Apply" and "OK", then check whether or not the problem still occurs. Using this method will stop thumbnails from loading when you want to open the Downloads folder. Thus, if a corrupt thumbnail is at the root of the error, showing the icons instead will let you regain access to the folder.
After trying these 4 fixes you'll either have fixed the issue or you still can't open Downloads folder in Windows But don't worry, there is at least one effective way left. What you can do is to recover files from the inaccessible folder using a third-party data recovery tool: AnyRecover.
