Folder Portal clickthough stopped working

Switched on the PC this morning and I can no longer click through to folders within Folder portals.

If I double click a folder inside a portal, it opens up the folder in a normal window instead of opening up the folder within the portal. Have I nudged a setting somewhere by accident or is there something else being screwy?

Hello,

Please check if you did not accidentally locked your Fences. Right click on desktop -> View -> Lock Fences. Please unlock it.

Thank you,

Today September 20 the portal folder works. I installed a program called File Center recently and so I worked around it back through windows file explorer and it allows me to proceed with the portal folder hunt. I do not know if this is the reason it works now--or that Stardock fixed it overnight. Anyway it works now through explorer files.
