Bug: Opening "Network," "Recycle Bin," or "This PC" locations crashes app

[Lukiluc29]

Description

I've encountered an issue where clicking on the "Network", "Recycle Bin", or "This PC" folders, whether through the navigation bar for "Network" or using shortcuts on the desktop or elsewhere, results in Files crashing and becoming unresponsive. I've noticed that this problem occurs exclusively in the column view. Until this issue is resolved, I've found a workaround, which is to pin these folders to favorites.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Files
2. Set Files as default
3. Synchronize column mode in settings
4. Unpin Recycle Bin from the sidebar
5. Close Files
6. Open Recycle Bin from the desktop

Requirements

Investigate and identify the root cause of the crashing issue when accessing "Network", "Recycle Bin", or "This PC" folders.

Files Version

Version 2.5.2.0

Windows Version

Thanks for the report. The log file doesn't show any errors but your issue may be fixed when #12679 is.

@Josh65-2201 I just noticed that all the folders listed with names starting with "Shell:" never respond when launched, except if we add them to favorites.

@Lukiluc29 do you have the option to sync folder preferences enabled?
