WE behaviour change

For quite a long time I have used the following shortcut successfully to
display the expanded contents of my D drive when launched.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,D:

This no longer works correctly since the last Windows Update, which may be
coincidental.
How can I restore the desired launch display behaviour?
TIA

Click to expand...

It works for me . . . What exactly happens when you try?
 
Did you cut and paste: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,D: or type it in
your post? Sometimes a space (or lack of one) will cause problems. I cut
and pasted the above to a WE shortcut and it worked as it was supposed to.

I use this, and it still works after all the updates:
%windir%\explorer.exe /e, d:

I cut and pasted the string from the Properties Dialog Box and have
rechecked so know that the string is correct.
When I select the Shortcut the D partition is selected, but not expanded.
It should be expanded, as it used to be.
Thanks everyone for trying to help.
An inconvenience, and a puzzle, rather than a problem.
 
There is a known problem with complexity-limits for the number of
root-connected folders that can be buffered when you auto-expand
to a target subfolder (which is what the /e,<targetfolder> switch
does).

The last time I checked this, the limit was 100 subfolders off the
root before auto-expand stalled. Try lowering the complexity of
your target-partition's root-subfolder structure (make a set of group
subfolders off the root and move bunches of your current subfolders
into those group subfolders).

Hope this helps.

Best I can do for now. <tm>
