B bramnet Contributor Joined Dec 8, 2016 Posts 19 Dec 20, 2016 #1 Hi, so this issue actually occurs within all of my programs, so I think it has something to do with the protocol itself Whenever I click something that asks for a folder and it opens the "Browse for Folder" menu, this happens and no matter if I try to refresh it by F5, right click and refresh, collapse and expand the desktop folder, it doesn't change anything and this is happening with all of my programs that use this window... any ideas?

When did that start? I can find nothing to explain this, other than how to program code to create that box. Since I am not a programmer, that sure does not help me - or help me help you. I might suggest opening an elevated (admin) command prompt and entering, sfc /scannow then press Enter (not the space after the c). If you get errors that SFC (system file checker) cannot fix, see these instructions.

B bramnet Contributor Joined Dec 8, 2016 Posts 19 Dec 25, 2016 #6 Well, the one it's happening on at the moment is UPlay. Which is really annoying since I have limited C: drive space, but I have a 2TB external drive practically empty.

Have you cleaned out the clutter? Have you uninstalled programs from C and reinstalled them on D? Have you moved your Documents and temp file locations to D and told Windows to use them as the new defaults?

Sorry, but I don't know why this error occurs. Busy day but I will do some more digging when I get a chance. Merry Christmas!
