Windows Explorer/File Explorer Always Opens Minimized

 always opens minimized.

Often this means that the window is actually open in normal mode but just not on your screen.  If you had a second monitor to use you would probably see it there.  Press Win-P to see if you are currently set to Extend and change it to Duplicate if so.  Similarly, windows can be attached to the current monitor but just be off screen or so reduced in size that they are hard to spot.  Right-click on the window thumbnail to use the Move and Size command to get them back that way.  Alternatively, provided they aren't associated with another monitor you can use the Taskbar's Cascade windows command to both move and resize them to a more usable state.  Minimize any other windows you have open that you don't want involved in the procedure first.  E.g. press Win-d to minimize them all, and then Restore the problem one.  

If you need more help, provide the details that you can get from the thumbnail's right-click menu.  E.g. in particular note that window commands which are active are blue and ones which are inactive are grey.  It is possible to infer the state of a window using the states of its window's window commands, for example, as seen via right-click of its thumbnail or via Alt-Space when its window has keyboard focus.

Thanks for the tip Robert Aldwinckle. I had my third monitor on in TV mode. I switched it back to HDMI hey presto! My folders were open. Just dragged them back to the main screen and now back up and running. This became an issue after yet another of Microsoft's **** Updates.

Now Listen up Microsoft! software developers. Get a grip of your software. It is pissing people off and costing them money in repairs.

You might also want to improve on the Malware for protecting Edge. At the moment, Edge is open to all sorts of attacks unlike Chrome.

At "Almost ANY" Version of Windows,

You can try go to the shortcut of your FileExplorer (Located at taskbar, Favorites Menu, Windows Start Menu, Etc), locate your File Explorer or your Folder with Problems (My Music, My Downloads, Etc.) and:

1. Right click
2. Properties
3. Shortcut
4. Run
5. Select: Maximized
6. Click OK for save your new settings.

That should fix your issue.

Best regards!
