I just set up a new Windows 11 computer. I did not make any changes to the Quick Access section of the File Explorer Navigation Pane, so it shows the usual system folders: Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, and Videos.
I changed the location of Desktop, Downloads, and Documents from the C: drive to the D: drive. For example, Desktop > Properties shows the location D:\Desktop, rather than C:\Desktop. I have no problems with these.
I changed the location of Pictures and Music from C: to E:, an external SSD. Here is the problem: If I right-click Pictures or Music in Quick Access, Explorer hangs and I have to kill it. There's no problem if I left-click: the folder contents are shown in the Details pane.
One bit of information that may be relevant: I actually defined the locations of Pictures and Music in a subfolder "i" of E:, that is, E:\i\Pictures and E:\i\Music.
Did I do something wrong? What can I do to fix it?
