Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

I have gone through your Post and I would like to help

May I know since when are you facing this issue? Were there any recent updates?

We will try to restart the Windows Explorer

1. Press Windows + R for the Run application to launch. Type “taskmgr” in the dialogue box to launch the task manager.
2. Navigate to the Processes tab and search for the process of “Windows Explorer”.
3. Right click on the process and select Restart. This will restart your windows explorer and launch all the opened files/folders after refreshing. 

Also run an SFC Scan and that might get things working

1. Right click on Start button and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.

2. Type “sfc /scannow” and press Enter.

3. After the scan is complete, type “exit” and press Enter.

Please let me know how it goes. 

We have few other steps we could try if the issue persists

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊
