This PC items in left pane keep expanding

This is very annoying, This PC contents like the drive partitions, USB sticks, etc keep expanding in the left pane which causes me to not be able to quickly access the Quick access items such as downloads easily without having to scroll up in the left pane. Does anyone know how to prevent this auto-expansion?

folder options and uncheck this option

It's already set to that but the moment I double click any folder, the left pane still expands to the current folder

I think it is meant to do that, I just checked mine and it is the same

I'm using StartAllBack, if I'm not mistaken it changes the original explorer.

I have no idea about that I am afraid, I use OpenShell and ExplorerPatcher. Normal Windows Explorer expands the left hand pane
