There is probably more that I have yet to find out.
I had to install a big security patch today, but my Win7
32 bit PC seems ok.Did you install any of the latest Updates that appeared today ?.
Which version of Windows?
But if Windows 10 check if you are in Tablet Mode and if so get out of it. That's Settings > System > Tablet Mode top box
Another is to restart Windows Explorer: Ctrl+Shift+Esc for Task Manager, right click Windows Explorer and Restart
