".library-ms" is no longer working.

When you double-click a library to view the contents, the following error may occur.




".library-ms" is no longer working.

For example, the following error may occur when opening Documents library



"Documents.library-ms" is no longer working.

This library can be safely deleted from your computer. Folders that have been included will not be affected.





Similarly when opening the Music, Pictures or Videos library



"Music.library-ms" is no longer working.

"Pictures.library-ms" is no longer working.

"Videos.library-ms" is no longer working.

To fix this problem, open Windows Explorer, right-click on the corresponding library and choose Delete. Click Yes when asked for confirmation.



Note: Deleting a library does not delete the contents of the included folders. However, you may need to re-add or include your folders manually, if needed.



Then, in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer, right-click Libraries and click Restore default libraries.







This recreates the library that was deleted earlier. This option only restores the default libraries.
