Hi,

After I open more than about 15 folders in the taskbar, whenever I open more folders (any random folder)(assume I open a folder called e.g. cooking) it will show a blank grey windows named [File Explorer] text in title bar and I am unable to close the window. screenshot:

The folder [e.g. cooking] will also appear in the taskbar named [File Explorer] and does not show the normal yellow icon and does not show the name of the folder [e.g. cooking].

If restart PC it will be back to normal again, but if I have more than about 15 opened folders the problem I described above will happen again.

Please help.

Thanks.
