ONE of the folders on my desktop (not a new one) will not open when double clicked. The others all work normally.

I'm running Big Sur 11.6 on my 2019 Intel iMac. ONE of the folders on my desktop (not a new one) will not open when double clicked. It worked up until about 24 hours ago. The others all work normally. I can open it using the finder or with Control Click then selecting open, but the usual double click doesn't work for this one particular folder...

Please restart the computer in Safe Mode then restart normally and retest.


Click Use Safe Mode to isolate issues with your Mac for instructions on a Safe Mode reset. Note: you should use a USB keyboard or if your keyboard is wireless please connect it's charging cable. Also the Safe Mode reset can take up to 10 minutes.
